StormReady and TsunamiReady are
voluntary programs offered to provide guidance and incentive to
officials who wish to improve their respective hazardous weather
operations. Officials will use the applications to apply for
initial StormReady or StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition and
renewal of that recognition every six years. A typical
StormReady/TsunamiReady community would use this form 1 time every
10 years. The government will use application forms to determine
whether a community has met all of the guidelines to receive
StormReady and/or TsunamilReady recognition.
