| SKYWARN is a group of volunteer weather observers, sponsored by the National Weather Service (NWS), to help report dangerous and hazardous weather conditions. You do not have to be a ham or even a member of OEM to become a SKYWARN Observer. Many local OEM groups across the country are active participants in local SKYWARN nets because severe weather conditions can cause the local chapter of OEM to become activiated responding to the damage that results from severe weather conditions. Many Ramsey OEM / RACES members have taken the locally sponsored SKYWARN Observer training class. For additional information about future SKYWARN training classes please visit the Bergen Skywarn site listed be |
