> I am putting together a list of Skywarn trained persons  in Frederick
> County (MD).  Some  months ago during a Skywarn Net, I was asked by 
> Sterling
> Weather for conditions  in a very specific part of Frederick County. 
> There were
> no spotters checked into the  net from that area at the time.  One  of our
> net participants remembered we had a member who lived in the area and
> telephoned him.  The information  needed by Sterling Weather was obtained 
> and
> quickly transmitted to them.  This certainly pointed out the need in 
> having a
> list of where our Skywarn members live and where they work.
> We have been in contact with Frederick County (MD)  Division of Emergency
> Management to establish a contact to notify them of severe  and 
> immediately
> dangerous weather we may spot.  They indicated a desire/need to have a 
> list
> of persons who are trained in weather observation (Skywarn) that they 
> could
> call for specific information concerning weather conditions within
> Frederick  County.  They asked for a contact  person with a list of 
> trained
> volunteer weather observers for urgent weather  related issues involving 
> their
> emergency management duties.  The County office will not have access  to 
> the
> list; but a Net Control Operator will have the ability to contact a 
> trained
> observer in the area and have that person contact the Emergency 
> Management
> Office.  We feel this is  the best way to maintain security of the persons 
> on
> the list and the phone  contacts.  Sterling Weather cannot  provide a list 
> of
> trained observers for security reasons.
> I am willing to maintain a list of Skywarn trained  persons.  The four
> trained Skywarn  Net Control Operators (Jim N3HTA,  Jeff  KB3FIO,  Jackie 
> WB3KDS
> and Rick K3RO) will have  access to the list; but no one else.  The names
> and numbers will be provided to the County only for urgent  information
> reasons.  We ask all  Skywarn trained operators voluntarily provide a 
> phone
> number for  home and place of employment (Frederick County only).  Please 
> send
> the information including  your Skywarn ID # to me via e-mail or 
> telephone.
> Again this is a voluntary action and the list will be  maintained by me 
> and
> shared only with the 3 other Skywarn Net Operators.  I will accept Skywarn
> trained NON-hams  as well for the list.  There is no  requirement for 
> persons
> participating in Skywarn to be hams… reports are  accepted via telephone 
> at
> Sterling.
> If you have any questions, please call me.
