FAIRS Emergency Management Training – March 14, 2012

Floyd Amateur Radio Society W4FCV in cooperation with the Floyd County Department of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service sponsored Sky Warn training class at Station 1 Rescue Squad building on March 14th, 2012. Sky Warn is people informing the National Weather Service (NWS) what the weather conditions are, on the ground, at their homes or in areas while traveling.  One does not have to be an Amateur Radio Operator to be a Sky Warn spotter.  There is a program called WX Spots that is free to put on your computer – it will connect with the NWS and you can connect with a volunteer during an event.
