THE ROCK is a StormReady Supporter

Oklahoman's and Kansan's live in the most severe weather-prone country on Earth. Each year, Americans cope with an average of 10,000 thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes, as well as an average of 6 deadly hurricanes. Potentially deadly weather impacts every American. Communities can now rely on the National Weather Service's StormReady program to help them guard against the ravages of Mother Nature. StormReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through better planning, education, and awareness. No community is storm proof, but StormReady can help communities save lives. Some 90% of all presidentially declared disasters are weather related, leading to around 500 deaths per year and nearly $14 billion in damage. StormReady, a program started in 1999 in Tulsa, OK, helps arm America's communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property- before and during the event. StormReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety programs.

Businesses, schools, and other non-governmental entities often establish severe weather safety plans and actively take part and promote severe weather safety awareness activities. An entity that promotes the principles and guidelines of the StormReady program may be eligible to become a StormReady "Supporter."

Examples of potential StormReady Supporters might include, but are not limited to businesses, hospitals, shopping centers and malls, schools, and nuclear power plants.

What are StormReady Supporter Eligibility Requirements?

StormReady Supporters are local entities that promote the principles and guidelines of the StormReady program into their severe weather/tsunami safety and awareness plans.Entities may be eligible as a StormReady Supporter based on the bylaws of the local NWS StormReady Advisory Board and the endorsement from local emergency management. Final approval for StormReady Supporter designation is made by local StormReady Advisory Boards.

Previous StormReady recognition of the county or community in which the applying entity resides is not a requirement to achieve StormReady Supporter designation.

There is no national requirement for StormReady Supporter re-recognition once an entity is approved as a supporter. However, local NWS StormReady Advisory Boards may establish re-designation time frames in their bylaws if they deem it necessary.

How are StormReady Supporters Recognized?

Successful StormReady Supporter applicants will receive a StormReady Supporter Certificate(s) dated and signed by the Meteorologist in Charge of the local NWS Office. The date printed on the StormReady Supporter Certificate(s) will be considered the official date of the Supporter designation. Recognized StormReady Supporters will also be listed on the NWS National StormReady Web page.
