ARE YOU A WEATHER WATCHER?
Volunteers Needed for Skywarn Training
For Immediate Release: March 14, 2008
Contacts: RON TOMASELLO

WHAT: The National Weather Service and Camden County’s Office of Emergency Management are looking for Camden County residents to become volunteer weather spotters as part of the Skywarn Program.

The National Weather Service needs real time reports of hail size, flash flooding, heavy rain and wind speed in order to effectively warn the public. Even as new technology allows the National Weather Service to issue warnings with more lead time, spotters will always be needed as links between radar and ground level information. The training session will last about three hours and is open to the public at no cost. To sign up, please call 866-CAMDEN COUNTY (866-226-3362).

WHEN: WEDNESDAY APRIL 9 7 PM

WHERE: The Camden County Boathouse

Cooper River Park

7050 North Park Drive, Pennsauken.
