StormReady Supporter Application

StormReady® Supporter Application
StormReady Supporters are local entities that do not qualify for a full StormReady Recognition yet
promote the principles of the StormReady program into their severe weather safety and awareness
plans. Entities may be eligible as a StormReady Supporter, based on the bylaws of the state NWS
StormReady Board and the endorsement from local emergency management. Final approval for a
StormReady Supporter designation is made by the state StormReady Board.
Previous StormReady recognition of the county or community in which the applying entity resides is not
a requirement to achieve a StormReady Supporter designation. There is no national renewal standard
for StormReady Supporters; however, state NWS StormReady Boards may establish renewal time frames
in their bylaws if they deem it appropriate.
Examples of potential StormReady Supporters might include, but are not limited to, businesses,
hospitals, shopping centers and malls, schools and nuclear power plants.
This StormReady Supporter Application outlines minimum requirements and provides a framework to
help NWS and Local StormReady Boards ensure consistency in the StormReady Supporter program.
These guidelines may be satisfied by incorporating data/services provided by America's Weather
Industry.
