NWS Cleveland Weather - Ready Nation Ambassadors

Why Become a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador?

 

The National Weather Service's mission is to "provide weather, water, and climate data, forecasts and warnings for the protection of life and property..." To accomplish this mission, NOAA wants everyone from small businesses to entire communities across the country to be ready, responsive, and resilient to extreme weather, water, and climate events. 

 

In order to truly build communities that are prepared for hazardous weather events, it takes the effort of the entire community. That is why the National Weather Service (NWS) is looking for Ambassadors within organizations to promote awareness of and preparedness for hazardous weather within our sphere of influence. We want to formally acknowledge the efforts of those that are helping to build a Weather-Ready Nation. Together, we can build communities that are resilient to all types of weather hazards.

 

Who is eligible? 

 

  • Any organization across all levels of government
  • Businesses, large and small
  • TV, Radio, and other media organizations
  • Non-profit or non-governmental organizations

Benefits of Becoming an Ambassador

 

  • Use your local NWS office in Cleveland, OH as a resource to enhance weather safety plans. Periodic emails to WRN Ambassadors will provide information such as links to newly posted outreach material on relevant hazards, as well as updates on experimental or newly operational NOAA/NWS products, services, or data.
  • Introduction to a complete array of NOAA/NWS products and services.
  • Permission to use the WRN logo allows organizations to identify themselves as steadfast partners in this initiative.
  • Ambassadors are part of a unified effort to increase consistency in messaging.
