Public education activities aim to:

• foster greater public understanding of weather and climate and to help the community use that information in their own and the national interest;
• inform the public and specific groups about the Bureau's role and the services it offers, and to help those groups use the services most effectively; and
• help improve communications and morale within the Bureau by making known various Bureau activities.

The effectiveness of public education activities was assessed in terms of formal visits and attendances at the Bureau's exhibition area at Head Office, attendance at external exhibitions and displays, distribution of a wide range of publications, and from public feedback via telephone, e-mail, post, Internet access, media responses and visitor comments.
