Case for Change Extreme events well forecast…but societal impacts? National Weather Service 4

NWS Strategic Outcome: A Weather-Ready Nation Becoming a Weather. Ready Nation is about building community resilience in the face of increasing vulnerability to extreme weather. NOAA is developing new decision support services, improving technology to track and forecast storms, and expanding its dissemination efforts to achieve farreaching national preparedness for weather events.
