A Climate-Ready Nation is a thriving nation whose prosperity, health, security, and continued growth, benefit from and depend upon, a shared understanding of, and collective action to reduce, the impacts of climate change.

This initiative will advance research, observations, modeling, prediction, information dissemination, and service delivery for disasters such as wildfires, drought, floods, and heat.
