Maybe you should Google NWS and see all of it's functions.
To name a few:
National Weather Service;
National Fisheries Conservation;
Marine Mammals protection;
Partner with USGS (US Geolological Survey)for the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning Centers;
Partner with the USGS again for volcano observation;
Partner with the EPA and USCG for pollution response;
Partner with the USCG to assist in Search and Rescue Planning;
Partner with FEMA and various state and local Offices of Emergency Services;
Provide Tide Tables for use by the public and responding agencies for all States along the coasts;
Provide Great Lakes weather conditions for those states;
Provide tornado, blizzard, flooding, and severe weather reports to all states.
That is just a short list that comes to mind

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
