On Wednesday, September 17, 2008, National Weather Service and Miami-Dade County Department of Emergency Management (DEM) representatives participated in a StormReady sign presentation which was held during the quarterly Local Mitigation Strategy meeting held at the John D. Campbell Agricultural Center in Homestead. Miami-Dade County became the second South Florida county to fully renew their StormReady recognition in 2008. Collier County was the first South Florida county to accomplish this back in March.  Both counties successfully met and exceeded the guidelines required for StormReady recognition, and their hard work and dedication have been well illustrated during the tropical cyclone threats of August and September 2008. 

2008 A Busy Year For StormReady in South Florida

Besides the full re-recognition of Collier and Miami-Dade counties, 2008 has welcomed Florida Atlantic University to the StormReady family as the first South Florida University to achieve  this recognition. In December 2007, the Mediterra and Twin Eagles communities of Collier County became StormReady Supporters. Glades County will be renewing their status in the coming weeks, with Hendry, Broward and Palm Beach counties up for renewal in 2009. WFO Miami has been working with several other local entities on the guidelines and criteria for first-time StormReady recognition. Stay tuned for these updates!
