The timely provision of reliable weather, water, climate, and environmental information has supported the Nation's social and economic development. NWS offices in communities across the United States and its territories, supported by regional and national centers, provide the authoritative information Americans need, including national, regional, state, tribal, and local authorities, to plan, prepare, mitigate, and respond to natural and human-caused events. NWS provides weather, water, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters, and ocean areas to protect life and property and enhance the national economy. These services include Forecasts and Observations, Warnings, Impact-based Decision Support Services, and Education to build a Weather-Ready Nation. The ultimate goal is to have a society prepared for and respond to weather, water, and climate events.   The tours will be conducted by a meteorologist who will go through the basics of how the National Weather Service operates and how forecasts are compiled and disseminated to the public. Participants will then be able to tour the operations area where current forecasting is taking place. Photography is permitted.
