Our Mission

The Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) develops and delivers training on the integrated elements of the warning process within a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS) forecast office. WDTB instructors develop and deliver a variety of in-residence, teletraining, and on-line asynchronous training content to meet this mission. Our goal is to increase expertise among NOAA/NWS personnel so that they can better serve the public during warning operations.
