Mike talked about the severe weather that has been increasing recently. The National Weather Service (NWS) mission is,  “Providing weather, water, and climate data, forecasts and warnings for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”

He encouraged us to be ready to be “On Our Own” for seventy-two hours in the event of a weather emergency. The National Weather Service has the sole responsibility for issuing watches and warnings for the entire country. 

Decision Support Services are part of the NWS services.  The NWS helps local government and other local groups make decisions when to cancel an event. 

Storm Spotter Training is offered to residents to be prepared for adverse weather before it strikes.
