Travel Warnings: ADVISORIES AND WARNINGSThe National Geographic is the prototype of the travel warnings magazines which supply a good market for the roving cameraman. It is a good text for study before you go on a picture-shooting trip. If you can understand and can supply what they want at National Geographic, you should be able to sell to the other travel warnings magazines, too. The purely travel warnings magazines represent only a narrow slice of the market for travel warnings pictures, however. All the general magazines use travel warnings material, too, in one form or another. A popular form is the picture story which deals in great detail with just one phase of life or one typical activity in any locality.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issues advisories and warnings for specific weather threats. Small Craft Advisories are issued when winds are expected to reach speeds of up to 33 knots (38 mph) and/or sea conditions are deemed dangerous for small craft in the forecast area. Small craft are defined by NWS as "small boats, yachts, tugs, barges with little freeboard, or other low-powered craft." Gale Warnings are issued when winds are forecast to be between 34 and 47 knots (39 to 54 mph). Storm Warnings are broadcast for winds greater than 48 knots (55 mph) with no upper limit on speed. A Hurricane Warning is issued only for hurricanes, with winds of 64 knots (75 mph) or more. A Hurricane Watch may be issued as an early alert to the possible arrival of a hurricane in the watch area. The watch will be changed to a Hurricane Warning when the storm is within 24 to 36 hours of arrival in the specified watch area. |
