This request is for an extension of and revision to a currently approved information collection. NOAAâs 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 nationâs 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 nationâs 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.
