WHERE: Chatham County Annex: 295 Police Memorial Drive, Savannah, GA
WHO: The National Weather Service in Charleston
DETAILS:
Weather spotters have served as the "eyes" of The National Weather Service for more than 60 years, assisting in the process to warn their communities of potentially hazardous weather. Although the National Weather Service utilizes cutting edge technology, such as Doppler radar and hi-resolution satellite imagery, nothing has proven more effective than the human eye to observe and report adverse weather.
The interactive training will focus on preparing individuals to report severe weather including funnel clouds, tornadoes, hail, damaging wind and flooding rainfall.
If anyone is interested in becoming a Storm Spotter for CEMA and the National Weather Service, contact Jennifer Rodriguez with CEMA at 912-201-4500 to reserve a seat. The workshop is free of charge. You can also register online by clicking here.
Communication officers, teachers, school administrators, fire, police, and EMS professionals are encouraged to attend.
