Be a Force of Nature

Know your risk. Take action. Be an example.

Because a truly Weather-Ready Nation requires the action of each person and community, NOAA’s National Weather Service is calling on all of us to Be a Force of Nature when it comes to extreme weather.

Being a force of nature means never bowing to extreme weather. It means taking appropriate actions before, during and after extreme weather. Even more than that, being a force of nature means inspiring others to do the same through setting an example in your community and social networks.

Below is a digital toolkit to help you become a force of nature, empowered to build a Weather-Ready Nation, during Lightning Safety Awareness Week.
