We always strive to stay at the top of our game, one way that we do this is by partnering and joining other agencies to support their efforts. OC San is now officially a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), also known as the National Weather Service.

What does this mean? It means that we are committing to improving the nation’s readiness against extreme weather, water, and climate event by being prepared here at OC San. We will work with NOAA and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather.

Southern California weather is said to the be best in the nation. But as an agency whose mission is to protect public health and the environment, we are also going to go the extra mile and take actions towards preparing in the event of a weather disaster.

The Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador initiative began in 2014 to recognize organizations of all kinds that share the goal of greater community resilience through improved ways to prepare, respond, and recover from extreme events.
