NWS Charleston, WV StormReady Information

The StormReady program helps arm local communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property--before, during and after the severe weather event. StormReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety programs and StormReady communities, counties, universities, military bases, Indian Nations, commercial enterprises and other groups are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness. No community is storm proof, but StormReady can help communities save lives.
