StormReady Supporter Application Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0419.

    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 285.

    Needs and Uses: This is a request for extension of an existing 
information collection.
    The National Weather Service (NWS) established the StormReady 
program in 1999 and the TsunamiReady program in 2002 to help 
communities, counties, Indian nations, universities and colleges, 
military bases, government sites, commercial enterprises and other 
groups reduce the potential for weather-related and tsunami hazards 
through advanced planning, education and awareness. The program 
encourages communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving 
local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with 
clear-cut guidelines on how to improve their hazardous weather 
operations. By participating in this program, local agencies earn 
recognition for their jurisdiction by meeting guidelines established by 
the NWS in partnership with federal, state, and local emergency 
management professionals. Information and details on the StormReady and 
TsunamiReady programs are located at https://www.weather.gov/stormready/ and https://www.weather.gov/tsunamiready/.
    A Supporter is an organization, business, facility, or local 
government entity actively engaged in weather safety and preparedness 
that is unable to meet all the requirements of the full StormReady or 
TsunamiReady program. Sites may be eligible based on the bylaws of the 
local NWS StormReady Advisory Board and endorsement of local emergency 
management. A local StormReady Advisory Board has final approval for 
Supporter designation.
    StormReady/TsunamiReady are voluntary programs that provide 
guidance and incentive to officials interested in improving their 
hazardous weather operations. The government will use the information 
collected by the StormReady/TsunamiReady application to determine 
whether a community has met all of the guidelines to receive 
StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
