- John Heltzel, director, Kentucky Emergency Management
- Joe Sullivan, warning coordination meteorologist, National Weather Service
- David Guy, director of system restoration and distribution operations, LG&E and KU Energy LLC
- Jennifer Rukavina, chief meteorologist, WPSD Local 6, Paducah

Severe Weather: Staying Safe, a production of KET in partnership with the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management and the Kentucky Weather Preparedness Committee, was produced and directed by Nick Helton.
