Over 17 million people reside in the area designated as "Tornado Alley," which is a zone at high risk to experience frequent tornadoes in the United States. Proper planning and preparation before a tornado hits can mean the difference between life and death. Additionally, floods cause an estimated $6 billion in damage in the United States alone with significant deaths.
By providing the most accurate and most effectively communicated forecasts worldwide, focused on impacts -- telling people how, why and what they need to do in order to save lives and minimize losses -- AccuWeather has saved tens of thousands of lives and prevented tens of billions of dollars in property damage.
The AccuWeather Ready program demonstrates AccuWeather's continued leadership and commitment as a U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador. AccuWeather was named one of NOAA's first Ambassadors in the weather enterprise initiative, launched in 2014 to recognize organizations committed to helping the nation be better prepared for, respond to and recover from weather-related disasters.
AccuWeather and NOAA have partnered for many years. The company has supported NOAA and National Weather Service (NWS) budgets in testimony and presentations before the United States Congress and with the Office of Management and Budget, as well as other federal agencies. Additionally, AccuWeather has been a long-time cooperation partner with NOAA and AccuWeather Chief Operating Officer Barry Lee Myers has served as a Special Advisor to three Directors of the NWS.
