Cookeville Regional Medical Center in Middle Tennessee has gotten a StormReady certification from the National Weather Service, according to an article on the Herald-Citizen website.
The program helps communities establish communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property — before, during and after the event.
Cookeville Regional is the eighth hospital in the state to become certified, joining Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Tri-Star facilities.
The hospital staff goes through mandatory training, and drills are executed throughout the year.
