NOAA National Weather Service has recognized Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort as StormReady communities, the only theme parks and resorts in the nation to achieve the distinction. To be recognized as StormReady, a community must establish an emergency operations center, have multiple means to receive severe weather information, monitor weather conditions and issue alerts, promote the importance of public readiness through education efforts, and develop a formal hazardous weather plan which includes emergency exercises.
