Why become an Ambassador?

The National Weather Service (NWS) is looking for ambassadors within organizations to promote awareness of and preparedness for hazardous weather within your sphere of influence.  You will receive regular emails from the NWS to help you in this effort. 

Who Can Become a WRN Ambassador?

  • Any organization/community across all levels of government
  • Businesses both large and small
  • TV, radio, and print media
  • Non-profit and non-governmental organizations
  • Places of worship
  • Homeowner Associations
  • Schools (public/private) at all levels

Benefits of becoming an Ambassador

  • Permission to use the WRN logo allows organizations to identify themselves as “taking partial ownership” of this initiative
  • Introduction to a complete array of NOAA/NWS products and services.
