Resolution 2015-046 Concerning Designation of Eagle County as a Storm Ready Community Barry Smith, Emergency Management Mr. Smith introduced Jim Pringle from the National Weather Service. He stated that the county had met certain criteria for awareness,public information and warning for severe weather events. Mr. Pringle stated that this was a National Weather Service program. Eagle County was highly susceptible to severe winter weather and flooding during the spring runoff. The program provides advice to community leaders and Mr. Smith was very helpful and responsible for getting the radio transmitter in Eagle County. As of today there were 2300 communities in the United States that were better prepared to deal with severe weather. The county met all of the requirements to be designated a"Storm Ready"community by the National Weather Service. The recognition was valid for three years. Commissioner Ryan asked about the storm warnings and notification to the public. Mr. Smith stated that designation didn't change anything that the county had been doing. The county had multiple means of alerting the public to weather related or any other types of emergency situations. There was a link on the county website to sign up for the alerts. Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the website that helped families prepare for emergencies. Mr. Pringle stated that they could visit the weather.gov website and information was provided under weather safety as well as an interactive page for children.
