OK-FIRST Wins Innovation Award
OK-FIRST, a 1996 TOP-funded project that
delivers lifesaving information to local
emergency managers, was selected as one
of five winners of the prestigious
Innovations in American Government award.
The awards program, which is administered
by Harvard's Kennedy School of Government
and the Council for Excellence in Government
and founded by the Ford Foundation, was
established to identify and promote excellence
and creativity in the public sector.
Established in 1996 by the Oklahoma Climatological
Survey at the University of Oklahoma, the program
provides up-to-the-minute weather data via
specialized computer technology. With access
to this timely information, emergency management
teams can close roads and bridges before they
become dangerous, alert rescue crews about storm
movements and take other proactive measures to
ensure public safety during severe weather.
"While we cannot control the
weather, OK-First demonstrates
that innovative thinking can
help government respond to it
more quickly," said Stephen Goldsmith,
Faculty Director of
the Innovations in American Government
Program.
"It's important that we continue to harness
this type of public-sector creativity to
improve the lives of American citizens
nationwide."
In a recent editorial, the Daily Oklahoman
noted that, "In a state where weather
forecasting is a sophisticated and respected
science, the Oklahoma Climatological Survey
should be commended for its contribution in
protecting the public from severe weather."

benefits of advanced telecommunications
technologies to underserved communities
and neighborhoods.
"We want these grants to demonstrate how

the delivery of services to Americans of
all ages and backgrounds, improving levels
of public safety, public health, public
information, homeownership and economic
development," said Assistant Secretary
of Commerce for Communications and
Information Nancy J. Victory. "Successful
TOP grants recipients share best practices
with other non-profit and public sector
organizations."
