adEach year, people in this country are killed or seriously injured by all types of extreme weather, despite advance warning.
NOAA’s Weather-Ready Nation initiative is about building community resilience in the face of increasing vulnerability to extreme weather and water events. As part of the Weather-Ready Nation initiative, NOAA, along with partners such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), wants to motivate individuals and communities to take actions that will prepare them in the event of a weather disaster and to share their preparedness steps with others. These actions can save lives anywhere - at home, in schools, and in the workplace before tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme types of weather strike.
However, NOAA and its partners can’t do it alone. A key member of the team is the public. That is why we are encouraging everyone to do their part. We ask everyone to
“Be a Force of Nature”.
Be a Force of Nature by knowing your risk, taking action and being an example in your community.
Know your risk
Hurricanes, droughts, tornadoes, snowstorms, flooding – severe weather impacts every part of the country. The first step to becoming weather-ready is to understand the type of hazardous weather that can affect where you live and work, and how the weather could impact you and your family.
