It’s February, and March/April/May is on the way. Why is that significant? It is one of our major severe weather seasons.
Ahead of this, we wanted to share a few resources for severe weather. This is not exhaustive, but do check these out!
- Our first priority is to make sure we ourselves are ready and safe. Dust off that family, or business emergency plan before the weather keeps us busy.
https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan - Parents and Teachers: Here’s some weather safety content geared to you.
https://www.weather.gov/owlie/safety_tp - SKYWARN(R) training time.
ALERT and Amateur Radio is encouraged to refresh their storm spotter training at least once a year. SKYWARN(R) Storm Spotter training is FREE, and is a requirement for ALERT members to be trained.
Click here for the schedule of web and in-person classes for Spring 2018 - Weather.im is where the BMXSpotterChat room lives. Check out the spotter chat info on this site for more info.
This chat room is available to any Skywarn trained spotter, even those not in amateur radio, and is watched by ALERT members during activated events, for spotter reports.
Hope to see you at the meeting tonight at 7PM at the NWS office in Calera.
–Casey, NZ2O
