Stanford Shopping Center Designated as 'StormReady' Mall

Palo Alto, CA -- Stanford Shopping Center has been designated a "StormReady" and "Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors" mall.

The designation, which was given this week by the National Weather Service, recognizes the shopping center for its "preparedness to handle all types of severe and potentially life-threatening weather situations through communications infrastructures, community outreach and hazardous weather training," according to Simon officials.

“We are grateful to the National Weather Service for providing us with this distinction,” said Julie Kelly, director of marketing and business development at Stanford Shopping Center. “Our centers play a key role in the Bay Area, and the safety and security of residents and visitors is of utmost importance.

The National Weather Service’s StormReady program is a partnership with emergency management that helps reduce risk and increases community resilience to hazards.
