Published by: WMO ; 2006
On World Meteorological Day 2006, WMO proposes a story of confidence, planning, empowerment, positive action and hope—a
description of how the cycle of information, preparedness, survival and progress should work. This story is set in a tropical village prone to cyclones. The village is confident,
informed, organized and ready to face the challenge of the weather. The story could apply to anyone, anywhere in the world, because in this village are local citizens, visiting businessmen, tourists and others who find themselves in the path of violent weather in a place far from home. The vital
contributions of WMO and the National Weather Services to all components of this cycle are presented throughout, for a
complete and integrated picture.
