We talk to Doug Hilderbrand, Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador Lead at the National Weather Service, about the reality working shifts on a 24/7 schedule, how the Southeast tornado outbreak in 2011 represented a crossroads for the weather enterprise, and how he has partnered with over 11,000 ambassadors as part of the Weather-Ready initiative.
