NOAA
The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration is broken down into 6 organizations
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and
Information Service (NESDIS) is dedicated to
providing timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to
promote, protect, & enhance the Nation's economy, security, environment, & quality of life.
To fulfill its responsibilities, NESDIS acquires and manages the Nation's operational
environmental satellites, operates the NOAA
National Data Centers, provides data and information services including Earth system monitoring, performs official assessments of the
environment, and conducts related research.
The NESDIS vision is to be the world's most
comprehensive source and recognized authority
for satellite products, environmental information, and official assessments of the environment in support of societal and economic
decisions.
National Marine Fisheries Service is the federal agency, a division of the Department of
Commerce, responsible for the stewardship of
the nation's living marine resources and their
habitat. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries
Service is responsible for the management,
conservation and protection of living marine
resources within the United States' Exclusive
Economic Zone (water three to 200 mile offshore). Using the tools provided by the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NOAA's National Marine
Fisheries Service assesses and predicts the status of fish stocks, ensures compliance with
fisheries regulations and works to reduce
wasteful fishing practices. Under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered
Species Act, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service recovers protected marine species
(i.e. whales, turtles) without unnecessarily impeding economic and recreational opportunities.
National Ocean Service In the U.S., where over
half of us live along the coast and more than 78
percent of our overseas trade by volume comes
and goes along our marine highways, the health
of our coasts is intricately connected to the
health of our nation's economy. The National
Ocean Service is the nation's ocean and coastal
agency. Following are examples of how NOS
is helping coastal America face change while
building a strong economy.
National Weather Service Provides weather,
water, and climate data, forecasts and warnings
for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.
The headquarters of the National Weather
Service is located in Silver Spring, MD with

(AFNS) -- Contrary to popular belief or
conventional wisdom or even the clich,
there IS an I in team.
Severe Weather
Awareness Week
SAFETY:
My bottom line is: it takes all the I's working in unison toward the same goal to make
an effective team. For acronym fans TEAM
can stand for: Togetherness Epitomizes
America's Military.
February 4
From tornadoes to lightning to floods, Georgia is susceptible to a variety of natural disasters. Severe weather is dangerous and can
strike with very little warning, which is why
its important to get ready in advance. Severe
Weather Awareness Week runs from February 4 8, and its a great time to make sure
you and your families are prepared.
Each day in Severe Weather Awareness Week
focuses on a different type of threat faced by
Georgians. Georgias EMA is encouraging all
residents to take a few minutes to learn about
how to deal with each emergency situation by
visiting the Ready Georgia website at
www.ready.ga.gov.
The weeks activities begin with Family Preparedness Day on Feb. 4, when Georgia
households are encouraged to program their
NOAA Weather Radios and create Ready
Profiles. With a Ready Profile, you can create
a customized checklist of emergency supplies
and a tailored family communications plan.
On Wednesday, when tornado safety is emphasized, a statewide tornado drill will be
issued by the National Weather Service. Severe Weather Awareness Weeks specific
observations are:
Monday, Feb. 4 Family Preparedness/
NOAA Weather Radio Day
Tuesday, Feb. 5 Thunderstorm Safety
Wednesday, Feb. 6 Tornado Safety and
Statewide Tornado Drill (issued by NWS)
Thursday, Feb. 7 Lightning Safety
Friday, Feb. 8 Flood Safety (alternate tornado drill date)
