Welcome to "Focus on the Future" the National Weather Service repository for information about the strategic initiatives that will lead the NWS into the future. The main purpose of this site is to make it easy for NWS employees to find information about the initiatives. This page is also a resource for many others who are affected by the services NWS provides and are interested in our plans. New resources and information will be posted as they become available.
