# What are Products?

Products are links, documents, pictures, and other types of media associated with a hazard. For example, an event may have text documents related to it, including the official advisories from the reporting agency, e.g., the National Weather Service (NWS) or the United States Geological Society (USGS). Some products are reports created by an expert system or an analyst. For example, DisasterAWARE generates a product for each tropical storm advisory. Products are organized hierarchically into folders. The folders group the content thematically, e.g., Situation Reports, Situational Awareness, Messages, etc.
