As natural disasters, extreme weather, and climate change increasingly impact society, resilience across homeland security missions, systems and communities is of increasing importance. Robust scientific weather, water, space, and climate information and technologies are necessary to solidify critical supply chains, infrastructure sectors, and community response. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) released a report last month, Extreme Weather: Opportunities for Improved Preparedness and Resilience. The report focuses on understanding the state of extreme weather science (with an emphasis on floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme heat, and wildfires), advances in observational technologies and networks, and the emerging domain of environmental intelligence necessary to develop proper risk mitigation strategies and better enable frontline operations. This report is built on a DHS S&T and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) joint workshop hosted at the University of Oklahoma National Weather Center in February 2024.
