Establishes the Kentucky Severe Weather Alert System to notify the public of imminent severe weather threats.
The bill creates the Kentucky Severe Weather Alert System, operated by the Division of Emergency Management in cooperation with various state agencies and associations. This system will notify the public when severe weather poses an imminent threat to safety. The system will use existing resources such as electronic highway signs, the emergency broadcast system, and media providers. Alerts will only be issued when the Division of Emergency Management determines the threat is imminent, the area is identified, and no federal alert has been made.
