MCARES accepted into NOAA initiative

The Muscatine County Amateur Radio Emergency Service has been welcomed to the NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador™ initiative. Our organization has been accepted as a NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador.

The Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador initiative is an effort to formally recognize NOAA partners who are improving the nation’s readiness against extreme weather, water, and climate events. As a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, your organization is committing to work with NOAA and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather.

What’s Next

A NOAA point of contact will reach out to the ARES EC shortly to answer questions we may have and explore collaboration opportunities.

In the meantime, please take the time to learn more about Weather-Ready Nation on these websites:
