Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness
The goal of the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness is to inform residents of weather hazards that typically affect the state, and to encourage families to plan ahead and know what to do during different weather and home emergencies; organize emergency preparedness kits; and practice safety drills to protect themselves from severe weather emergencies and home fires.
For 30 years the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness has been dedicated in educating the public on severe weather safety and preparedness. Committee members include the American Red Cross, the National Weather Service, Ohio Citizen Corps, Ohio Department of Public Safety - Emergency Management Agency, Ohio Insurance Institute, Ohio News Network, Ohio Department of Commerce - State Fire Marshal, the Emergency Management Association of Ohio, and the Ohio Departments of Aging, Education, Health, Insurance, and Natural Resources.
