StormReady
The NWS designed
StormReady to help communities better prepare for and mitigate effects of
extreme weather-related events.
StormReady also helps establish a commitment to creating an infrastructure and
systems that will save lives and protect property.
Some of the basic requirements for a community/county to be considered
StormReady:
1. Establish a 24 hour warning point to receive NWS information and provide
local reports
2. Warning points and Emergency Operations Centers need multiple ways to receive
NWS warnings
3. The warning point or EOC must be able to monitor weather information,
especially radar data
4. Once NWS warnings are received, the warning point or EOC must be able to
disseminate the information to their population
5. Conduct community preparedness weather-safety talks, accomplish
weather-related safety campaigns, and host a spotter training session
