Become a Trained Weather Spotter - FOR FREE
Savannah, GA – September 4, 2009
 
 
In conjunction with the Chatham Emergency Management Agency, The National Weather Service will be offering a Basic Weather Spotter Training Class on Thursday, September 17th, 2009. 
 
The training is FREE, but space is limited. If you are a weather enthusiast and are interested in this unique opportunity to serve your community, be sure to reserve your spot by September 17th, 2009.
 
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.
 
This training session will last approximately 90 minutes and will focus on preparing individuals to report severe weather including funnel clouds, tornadoes, hail, damaging wind and flooding rainfall. In addition, the importance of weather safety when observing and reporting critical weather will be discussed.
 
We look forward to seeing you on September 17th!
 
TRAINING DETAILS:
 
Location:      Chatham County Annex: 295 Police Memorial Drive, Savannah
 
Time:              6:30 PM
 
Contact:        Dustin Hetzel at (912) 201-4500 or    DJHetzel at ChathamCounty.org
 to reserve a seat and directions to the Chatham County Annex.
