  • Skywarn review notes:
    • Great job overall.
    • Think twice before you make a non-severe report during intense portions of the Skywarn net. The frequency needs to be available for severe reports!
    • During an active net only check in when you’re actually available to deploy OR actively observe from your location.
    • Net control will be working with the county EOC to determine when pre-staging or standby checkins are appropriate.
