This request is for an extension of
and revision to a currently approved information collection. NOAA’s
National Weather Service is revising this collection to add a
Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador application. StormReady and
TsunamiReady are voluntary programs offered as a means of providing
guidance and incentive to officials interested in improving their
respective hazardous weather operations. The
StormReady/TsunamiReady Application Form will be used by localities
to apply for initial StormReady or TsunamiReady recognition and
renewal of that recognition every four years. The government will
use the information collected to determine whether a community has
met all of the criteria to receive StormReady and/or TsunamiReady
recognition. Businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations and other
non-governmental entities often establish severe weather safety
plans and actively promote severe weather safety awareness
activities. Many of these entities do not have the resources
necessary to fulfill all the eligibility requirements to achieve
the full StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition. Therefore, the NWS
established the StormReady and TsunamiReady Supporter programs to
recognize entities that promote the principles and guidelines of
the full programs, but do not meet the eligibility requirements for
full recognition. Localities can also apply for Weather-Ready
Nation Ambassador™ recognition. That program recognizes NOAA
partners who are improving the nation’s readiness, responsiveness,
and overall resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate
events. As a WRN Ambassador, partners commit to working with NOAA
and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against
extreme weather. Similar to StormReady and TsunamiReady, the
government will use the information collected to determine if
applicants meet all the requirements. Localities can also apply for
Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador™ recognition, which is the addition
to the currently approved collection. That program recognizes NOAA
partners who are improving the nation’s readiness, responsiveness,
and overall resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate
events. As a WRN Ambassador, partners commit to working with NOAA
and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against
extreme weather. Similar to StormReady and TsunamiReady, the
government will use the information collected to determine if
applicants meet all the requirements. Many businesses, schools,
nonprofit organizations and other non-governmental entities
establish severe weather safety plans and actively promote severe
weather safety awareness activities. The NWS established the
StormReady and TsunamiReady Supporter programs to recognize those
entities do not have the resources necessary to fulfill all the
full StormReady or TsunamiReady eligibility but actively promote
the principles of the program.
