South Fallsburg, N.Y. – December XX, 2014 — Rolling V Bus Corp., a leading passenger
transportation company based in the Catskills Region, is the first bus corporation accepted as a
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather-Ready Nation
Ambassador.
As an NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, Rolling V will serve a pivotal role in the

the impacts of extreme weather, water and climate conditions.
“Rolling V is pleased and honored to participate in the Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador
Initiative,” said Phil Vallone, Rolling V President. “We are very committed to taking the
necessary steps to keep our community safe in the event of extreme weather conditions. Joining
this initiative will allow us to continue our conscientious efforts in serving the community.”
Rolling V will join with other federal, state, and local government agencies; emergency
managers and city planners; researchers, the media; the insurance industry; non-profit
organizations; the private sector; and many others to achieve the goal of saving lives and
minimizing the impact of extreme weather on daily life.
“Rolling V has made preparations to ensure buses are running and our community members arrive safely
at their destination,” said Warren Palmer, Rolling V Bus Driver and NOAA Weather Ambassador.
“Rolling V drivers participate in a comprehensive training program that includes preparation for driving
in inclement weather and adverse conditions like wintry weather.”
