Weather Tech with Purpose: How Utilities and Schools Are Using Tempest to Educate and Protect Communities

By Tempest
When utilities and community-focused organizations invest in education, the impact often extends far beyond the classroom. A recent initiative by the Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation (JOEMC) of North Carolina illustrates just how weather technology can play a meaningful role in both learning and local resilience. By donating weather stations to elementary schools, the JOEMC created new opportunities for students to engage with real-time data, strengthened weather awareness at a school district level, and reinforced the value of partnerships between utilities, educators, and communities.
