The Weather Ready Nation is an emerging networked community being redefined and enabled by new technologies. This session will examine how enterprise partners will no longer be limited to climate, water and weather experts. Topics include crowd sourcing and true two-way communication as well as the infusion of new geo-targeted technologies. The future of gaming, mobile media, and moving from science fiction to science fact will be explored and of course how such changes in traditional dissemination and media present challenges and opportunities in a networked world.
