NOAA certifies S.C. StormReady

NOAA's StormReady posterAs only the 4th state across the nation, the Palmetto State joins Delaware, Florida, and Hawaii as being StormReady® – NOAA’s rigorous program to strengthen the state’s ability to protect life and property during severe weather.

The National Weather Service and South Carolina emergency managers began working toward StormReady® designation seven years ago.

Then, only a handful of emergency managers had Internet access, and only 60% of South Carolina was covered by NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards transmitters.

Today, every county has full Internet access and complete coverage by NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards transmitters, making South Carolina a safer and more prepared state.

Congratulations to all the hardworking South Carolina weather people, and thanks NOAA!
