The April meeting will focus on “Preparing the Storm Spotter” as a follow-up to the official spotter training. The presentation will include protocol instruction for passing information during an active storm net along with recommended equipment beyond the vehicle-mounted transceiver and antenna. The program will also stress the importance of having an adequately prepared “go bag.”
