The National League of Cities is the oldest and largest national organization representing municipal governments throughout the United States. Working in partnership with the 49 state municipal leagues, the NLC  is a resource for the more than 19,000 cities, villages, and towns it represents.

NOAA reached out to municipal governments at NLC on climate change and public safety by highlighting "NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards" and the agency's aggressive program on hazard resiliency.  NLC is a part of the agency’s intergovernmental portfolio.
