Skywarn Storm Spotter Training
Description
The National Weather Service and Franklin County Emergency Management Agency rely on trained volunteers to supplement Doppler radar information on severe storms and tornadoes. These dedicated individuals volunteer many hours of their time to learn about and detect severe weather. Their valuable cooperation is important in the warning process. Weather reports from trained spotters are used along with Doppler radar data to issue warnings of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods.These classes are free of charge and are open to anyone who has an interest in severe weather and/or public service. The objective of the training is to provide the knowledge to identify and report key severe weather features.
The classes contain photos/videos of recent violent tornadoes, storm damage, flash floods, hailstorms, and downbursts.
The staple "Spotter Concepts" class is about 2 hours in length.
