National Night Out is an annual community-building event that brings together local law enforcement agencies, other first responders, and neighborhoods for a night of fun and camaraderie.
ALERT is planning to have a presence Sylvan Springs event at the Sylvan Springs Community Center the evening of October 4 at 5:30pm.
This is a free event, family friendly, and you get to see the “cool stuff” that will be on site at the community center.
ALERT’s Objectives / Scope for this event are:
1. Participate as a Weather Ready Nation Ambassador, promoting weather preparedness in our community.
2. Promote Skywarn Storm Spotter Training.
3. Promote Amateur Radio, especially to existing storm spotters who might not have a way to contact NWS when other communications might fail.
4. Make friends in our community and have some fun!
At the ALERT table there will be a candy bowl, crayons for kids and coloring items for the kids, from NWS materials.
Middle school age kids get a book and smaller kids get coloring sheets.
Ronnie King’s Hambulance will be there and is providing support for marketing to the public and will have a looping presentation display.
Expect more information on the ALERT email loop and on ALERT’s Facebook page.
Hope to see you there!
