[Robin Terrill]

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. - As you know, the Federal Government has shut down
making us having to reschedule the October 12th  Skywarn class. The Broward
County Emergency Management Division is sponsoring a SKYWARN Storm Spotters
training class now on Saturday, November 2, at the Broward Emergency
Operation Center (EOC) located at 201 N.W. 84 Ave. in Plantation from 10
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Note that you must preregister for this class, and there
is no charge for this class and materials.

The class is intended for those interested in becoming a Storm Spotter or
current spotters who want to sharpen their skills. Interested persons must
be at least 14 years old and preregister by Thursday, October 10, by calling
Robin Terrill, Broward County Skywarn Coordinator, email:
<mailto:n4hhp at comcast.net> n4hhp at comcast.net. Only 50 seats are available
and attendees under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Attendees need to
make their own lunch arrangements. When registering for the class, please
include your name, home address, cell phone number and your callsign if you
are a ham.

Training is required in order to become a recognized Storm Spotter. SKYWARN
classes are ideal for amateur radio operators, Red Cross volunteers,
firefighters, nurses, doctors, students or anyone who is interested and
wants to serve. Classes for beginners and advanced Storm Spotters will be
taught in a combined class by a meteorologist with the National Weather
Service. 

SKYWARN Storm Spotters are a nationwide network of volunteers who report
observations of significant weather and damage resulting from severe weather
to the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service then sends
alerts to the public via television, radio, marine and weather radios,
public safety agencies and other information sources that severe weather is
approaching or has been sighted.

 

Please note: If you are already registered for this class and have received
an acknowledgement from me, please disregard this email. If you have not
received a response from me, please email me again with your name, home
address, cellphone number and indicate your callsign and I will register
you.
If you receive this email multiple times, please excuse me as I send out to
multiple databases.
