Severe Safety Institute LLC was created to advance weather readiness by providing clear, practical guidance for planning, safety, and confident decision making. The focus is on translating complex weather information into straightforward insight that supports real-world operations and helps reduce unnecessary loss.
After 26 years of federal service, founder Becky Kern established Severe Safety Institute LLC to bridge the gap between forecasts and the decisions leaders face every day. Her work is grounded in clear communication, integrity, and trusted expertise developed over decades of operational meteorology.
Severe Safety Institute LLC supports businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, community organizations, and individuals who want a deeper understanding of weather risk and the confidence to act before hazardous conditions develop. The goal is simple: provide clarity where it matters most and safeguard people, resources, and operations through informed, cost-effective decisions.
