The private sector leads in the provision of advanced technology for the improvement of the infrastructure. In the case of situations where life and property are threatened, the private sector relays public sector warnings and advisories to the public, ensuring that a consistent, unified voice is heard by those affected citizens. Produces and delivers valued-added weather, climate, hydrologic, and environmental products and services, and promotes their widest and most productive commercial application, to enhance the efficiency of economic sectors that are sensitive to weather and climate variations. Creates technological advances in observations, computing, communications, and any other areas necessary for progress in the science and application of meteorology and related aspects of oceanography and hydrology. Both public and private sectors should strive for a teamwork approach on such topics as public safety during hazardous weather events, where the public sector has the lead responsibility, and in the enhancing of efficiency in economic sectors sensitive to weather and climate, where the private sector has the lead.
Teamwork requires good communication.
The public sector should seek out feedback from universities, research institutions, and the private sector regarding their performance, including suggestions for service improvements, and the private sector, universities, and other research institutions should provide that feedback.
