StormReady not Storm Proof

6/12/2018 (Permalink)

The city of Aurora was one of the first municipalities in Illinois awarded the "StormReady" designation. The top goal of StormReady is to prepare communities with an action plan that responds to the threat of all types of severe weather from tornadoes to winter emergencies.

Once a community meets preparedness criteria, outlined by the partnership between the National Weather Service and state and local emergency managers, it is considered "StormReady," StormReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through better planning, education, and awareness.

StormReady does not mean storm proof. You must always have a plan and be prepared before dangerous weather arrives. Visit the StormReady website for information on how to be prepared and remember, SERVPRO of Aurora, Illinois is always available to help you with your cleanup and restoration needs, 630-862-3930.
