If a hazard group is for a cancellation then "sssss" should be set to "CAN". Cancellations are considered to have the lowest severity. CAN - Cancellation, STR - Strong Wind, MARG - Marginal, WATCH - Watch, GALE - Gale Force, STD - Standard, WARN - Warning, MIN - Minor Warning, STO - Storm Force Wind, MOD - Moderate Warning, MAJ - Major Warning, SEV - Severe, EXT - Extreme, HURR - Hurricane Force Wind, CAT - Catastrophic (Code Red) A short description of the hazard. This could be automatically generated from the hazards area, type, severity and phenomena information. A three letter code describes the update phase associated with the product (c.f. hazard phase). This code is normally associated with a warning product to indicate the overall update phase of all the hazards within the product. For other product types this would usually default to "NEW" except for updates to forecasts, which would be labeled as "UPD". NEW - New event, e.g. initial warning in the specified area REN - Renewal of a hazard: This is used when a hazard is reissued without change to its status, i.e. the same severity and phenomena are being specified as in the previous issue. UPD - Update of an event, DGD - Downgrade of an event, UGD - Upgrade of an event, CAN - Cancellation of an event, COR - Correction of previous issue W - Damaging Wind (>34 knots), W+ - Destructive Wind (>48 knots), FF - Flash Flooding, LH - Large Hail, TO - Tornado, HT - Abnormally High Tide, HS - Very Heavy Surf, BZ - Blizzard, SL - Slippery roads due to oil and exhaust build-up, IC - Icing of roads due to frost or freezing rain, SN - Snowfalls that causing blockages or dangerous driving conditions, FL - Inundation of roadways by flood waters, RA - Reduced visibility due to heavy rain or showers, FG - Reduced visibility due to fog, DU - Reduced visibility due to dust, SM - Reduced visibility due to smoke, L1 - At least one lightning strike within 5 nautical miles of sensor, L2 - At least one lightning strike within 10 nautical miles of sensor, L3 - At least one lightning strike within 30 nautical miles of sensor, DS - Damaging Surf Priority is a single letter code describing the priority or urgency of the hazard. For non-warning products this would usually default to "X" and can be omitted. The valid priority codes are: X - Routine, W - Warning, F - Flash, S - SEWS( Standard Emergency Warning Signal) signal required
