Phoenix Children's Hospital certified as 'StormReady'

Anything from a heavy thunderstorm to localized flooding could trigger StormReady procedures


The National Weather Service has certified Phoenix Children's Hospital certified as "StormReady," according to an article on the Arizona Republic website.

The certification means the facility can aid the Phoenix area before, during or after an emergency event.

To be recognized as StormReady:

• The site must establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency-operations center.

• The site must have multiple ways to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public.

• The site must create a system that monitors weather conditions locally.

• The site must promote the importance of public readiness through seminars.

• The site must develop a formal hazardous-weather plan, which includes training severe-weather spotters and holding emergency exercises.
