Weather-Ready Nation: NOAA's National Weather Service Strategic Plan, 2011.

摘要

This Strategic Plan is our effort to anticipate service needs over the next couple of decades, project what science and technology could allow, and establish meaningful outcome-oriented goals and objectives as we seek to build a Weather-Ready Nation. The Strategic Plan also provides a strategic framework that will guide our organization and investment over the next decade. We understand fully the Nations current economic realities; and, it is for that reason that we must improve and demonstrate the economic value of our weather, water, and climate services. While this Strategic Plan is not cost-constrained, our subsequent roadmap and implementation plans will narrow our focus within the available budgets. These planning efforts will prepare NWS to meet the opportunities and challenges of the future.
