Liberty Village Premium Outlets is pleased to announce that, through continued efforts to increase shopper safety in the face of severe weather, it has been awarded the designations of being “StormReady®” and ”Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors™” by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service.

The designations recognize Liberty Village Premium Outlets for its preparedness to handle all types of severe and potentially life-threatening weather situations through communications infrastructures, community outreach and hazardous weather training.
