Did you know COMET provides end-to-end early warning support for weather events? Our team met with Dominicano de Meteorologia Director Gloria Ceballos and Deputy Director Miguel Campusano to launch a study to improve early warning systems in partnership with the @nhc-atlantic.extwitter.link.

Weather data and early warning systems save lives. That's why we've teamed up with Climate Hazards Center to deploy our 3D-PAWS in some of the most food-insecure regions.

We recently conducted a week-long training for our 3D-Printed Automatic Weather Stations (3D-PAWS) at the Red Lake Nation College. We trained staff to fabricate two 3D-PAWS systems for educational and research studies on the Red Lake Tribal Lands. We're excited for this partnership!
