M7.7 About the NWS Agency

Source: https://www.weather.gov/about/

The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, water, and climate data all over the nation. Forecasts about extreme weather conditions, warnings for the protection of life and property and more are all noted from this agency. Their vision is to prepare and respond to any weather event if necessary. The NWS  provides weather predictions, which supports social and economic development. People who fish or grow crops rely on weather predictions to guide them to see when is the best time to harvest. The forecasts and other services the NWS provides also gives updates on the ocean and water protective information.
Upon further review, I found out that collectively, they have 122 weather forecast offices, 13 River Forecast centers, 9 National centers and support offices that surveys more than 76 billion observations and forecasts. Not including all the technology that comes with it!
