Strategic Plan In 2011, NWS unveiled its new Strategic Plan, based on the concept of building a Weather-Ready Nation. This Strategic Plan is our effort to anticipate service needs over the next couple of decades, project what science and technology could allow, and establish meaningful outcome-oriented goals and objectives as we seek to build a Weather-Ready Nation.
