[warn-news] from NWS office in Wilimington, re: Ohio tornado drill

[Steve Lewis]

Ohio’s Severe Weather Awareness Week is March 22-28
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statewide Tornado Drill is Wednesday, March 25th.

The SkyWARN program is a cooperative program between the National 
Weather Service and the Amateur Radio community.

This cooperative effort to provide accurate and timely reports of severe 
weather events is vital to the safety of our communities.

This program can only be successful if reports (ground truths) are 
received from amateur radio operators throughout the served area.

This service, provided by individual amateur radio operators, is 
considered an important community volunteer service.

This week is a great time to be sure your employer understands the 
function you play in providing this service to your community.

The Statewide Tornado Drill is Wednesday, March 25th at 9:50 AM.

Please make an effort to check-in to your local SkyWARN frequency.
