What is StormReady® ? It is a National Weather
Service program designed to recognize counties that have reached a high level of
severe weather preparedness.
To be recognized as StormReady®, a county must meet criteria established
jointly between the NWS and state and local emergency management officials. These
criteria include:
The essence of the program is to ensure the entire warning system performs properly when severe weather strikes. The "system" is comprised of the NWS (which issues the warnings), local emergency management (which ensures the warnings get communicated), and you (who respond properly to the warnings). When each part of this system performs well, lives and property are saved. StormReady® recognizes those counties in which the system is most likely to perform well.
