Storm Ready and Storm Watchers.wmv

Lebanon PA 1/28/2010: National Weather Service's Meteorologist Bruce Budd and PEMAs Fred Boylestein congratulated EMA and Lebanon County for attaining StormReady designation, which will result in additional ISO—Insurance Services Organization—community rating points.  Usually, the ISO rating reduces homeowners insurance.  The safety skills acquired will help to save lives and property—before and during an event.  There are currently 1550 sites in the USA and 44 sites in PA.

Designation is based on communication systems, weather awareness, initiation of local warning evacuations, NOAA weather radio in schools, and community preparedness activity.  The 4-year designation will be posted on signs in the County.  For more information, visit www.stormready.noaa.gov .
If you would like to be a Storm Watcher, attend a training session on May 18 at the Municipal Building auditorium.  Call EMA at 272-7621 to register.
