On Wednesday, July 16, 2008, the StormReady recognition ceremony
and sign presentation was held at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU)
main campus in Boca Raton. The presentation was held in the Emergency
Operations Center at the Campus Operations Building.
FAU is the first college/university in South Florida to attain
StormReady recognition by the National Weather Service, and only the
fourth in the entire state of Florida. This is indeed a special
distinction and one that WFO Miami is very proud of. The staff at FAU
has done an outstanding
job of fulfilling all of the StormReady program requirements, and the
FAU community can be assured that their university is very well
equipped and prepared to meet the challenges from any weather
threat.
Collier and Miami-Dade Counties Have Successfully Renewed Their StormReady Status.
Collier and Miami-Dade counties are the first South Florida counties to
have been fully re-recognized as StormReady for the period from
2008-2011. Congratulations to the Emergency Management staffs of both
counties for their hard work and dedication in meeting this task.
Glades County will be renewing their status in the coming weeks, with
Hendry, Broward and Palm Beach counties up for renewal in 2009.
