Bluegrasspreps is now an Ambassador with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (N.O.A.A.) Weather-Ready Nation!

 

What is the Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador initiative?

One of NOAA’s missions is to save life and property by providing critical environmental intelligence, including weather forecasts and warnings, to our partners and the general public. NOAA wants everyone, from communities across the country, businesses, and the public at large to be ready, responsive, and resilient to extreme weather, water, and climate events. Government cannot achieve success without the support and contributions from partners. NOAA recognizes to build a Weather-Ready Nation requires innovative collaborations with the media, emergency management community, the Weather Enterprise, and other organizations such as businesses and all levels of government. WRN Ambassadors are formally recognized by NOAA as organizations committed to collaborating with NOAA, sharing preparedness messaging in outreach to the public, and serving as examples themselves by implementing resilience best practices.

 

What are the duties of a WRN Ambassador?

WRN Ambassadors are expected to maintain active dialog with NOAA (e.g., maintain current point-of-contact and contact information), use where appropriate NOAA-generated information such as preparedness messages, and identify opportunities for collaboration including research initiatives and outreach events.

 

What parts of NOAA are participating in the WRN Ambassadors initiative?

WRN Ambassadors initiative is a NOAA-wide effort to strengthen partnerships toward a unified effort to increase national resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate events. This includes areas such as satellite services and information, coastal resilience, maritime safety, and the NOAA research labs that support NOAA services. WRN Ambassadors initiative is also targeting partnerships at the national, regional, and local levels.

VERY NICE!!!

Congrats, nWo. I'm sure this is a result of a lot of hard work on your part.

 

Thanks for keeping us informed (& safe).

Very Cool!!!!!

Give it up for our man nWo!!!!

This is a great move for BGP! To be able to be a place where people can get reliable weather reports speaks volumes to the work that nWo has done for BGP. This is a huge deal and one I am proud and fortunate to be a part of. I've been getting my weather from BGP anyways. Now we are official!!!

Outstanding. I'll take nWo over Weather Channel every day.

 

Can we see about an nWo/BGP Weather App?

Well done, nWo! :thumb:

Word. Although exchange a few for several.

Nice work, nWo. There have been times when my wife and I have discussed what the forecast is and I've logged onto BGP and gotten some pretty contemptuous looks from her....but now she has no excuse for the funny looks. :clap:

Well done @nWo Mrs. TAC always asks me to go check the weather and I just hit up nWo for the best forecast. I'm sure the association with NOAA will help serve a lot of folks.

My wife asked me about the weather the other day. Her words were "What does BGP say"?

I have relied on your forecast many times - especially during the winter months
