Operation Weather Survival

Operation Weather Survival (OWS) is a network of public and private organizations that collaborate, coordinate resources, and help educate the public to prevent illness and death caused by extreme hot or cold weather. The organization also serves as a “think tank” to help participating agencies solve problems and initiate new ideas. OWS itself does not provide services. Services and programs are provided and administered by member organizations.
