StormReady Sites and Supporters for NWS Cleveland.

NWS Cleveland StormReady

The StormReady program was designed to aid communities in preparing for and mitigating against the impacts of extreme weather.

StormReady helps communities with communication and safety protocols that will aid in protecting lives and property during all stages of an event (before, during, and after).

StormReady Communities in the Cleveland CWA

To officially become StormReady, a community must:

Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center.
Have more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public.
Create a system that monitors weather conditions locally.
Promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars, such as SKYWARN talks.
Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.
