Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador: Building a Weather Ready Nation
Upstate Weather is a formally recognized Weather Ready Nation Ambassador! This initiative is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) effort to formally recognize NOAA partners who are improving the nations readiness, responsiveness, and overall resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate events.
Building a Weather-Ready Nation requires more than government action alone. It requires innovative partnerships with other weather information providers and with organizations across all segments of society for better community, business, and personal decision making.
As a WRN Ambassador, Upstate Weather has committed to working with NOAA to help unify efforts across government, non-profits, academia, share and collaborate our preparedness and resiliency while serving as an example by educating employees on workplace preparedness and encouraging personal preparedness at home. We inspire others to be better informed and prepared, thus helping to minimize, mitigate, or avoid the impacts of natural disasters.
