StormReady Community

It is the goal of the City of North Richland Hills to make sure the community is prepared as possible for all types of weather emergencies. In 2005 these efforts resulted in the city being recognized by the National Weather Service as a StormReady Community.

Less than 1 percent of all cities and towns in the country are StormReady. The voluntary program recognizes communities that have taken extra steps to prepare for severe weather. To be recognized as StormReady, a community must:

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

The StormReady designation will be in effect for three years when the city will go through a recertification process.

Residents Urged To Be Prepared Before Severe Weather Strikes

Despite efforts by local governments to provide advance warning of severe weather, many people across the nation are killed or seriously injured each year by tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Some did not hear the warnings, while others heard the warning but did not believe it would happen to them. The City of North Richland Hills asks residents to do their part to be prepared for severe weather and natural disasters. The following preparedness information could help save your life:

Identify a safe place to take shelter. Develop a plan for you and your family at home, work, school, and when outdoors. Have frequent drills.
Listen to radio and television for weather information. Have a NOAA Weather Radio with a warning alarm tone and battery back-up.
Check the forecast before leaving for extended periods outdoors. Watch for signs of approaching storms.
If severe weather threatens, check on people who are elderly, very young, or physically or mentally disabled.
