NOAA NWS: StormReady - Many laws and regulations have been created to help local
emergency managers deal with hazardous material spills, search and
rescue operations, medical crises, etc., but there are relatively few
uniformly recognized standards dealing with hazardous weather
response. Recognizing this need, the National Weather Service (NWS),
has created a program to help cities, counties, and other local
governments implement procedures to reduce the potential for
weather-related disasters. By participating in "StormReady," local
agencies can earn recognition for their jurisdiction by meeting
voluntary criteria established by the NWS in partnership with federal,
state, and local emergency management professionals. The StormReady Web site offers background information about the
program; details on how to participate; a list of useful publications;
weather safety information about winter weather, hurricanes, extreme
heat, and other severe weather; and other information for dealing with
meteorological hazards.
