Weather Spotter Training

Due to budgetary constraints, NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) - Green Bay will not be able to provide weather spotter training in as many areas as they have in years past.  Unfortunately, Manitowoc County will not be holding local training this year.  Those interested in weather spotter training can participate in other ways: 

• Attending talks provided by the NWS in selected communities in the area;
• Virtual training via webinars provided online;
• Online training at http://www.weather.gov/grb/skywarn;
• Training which may be provided by non-NWS employees.

For additional information concerning the spotter program, contact Manitowoc County Emergency Management.

Training is one of the important NIMS Implementation activities that Federal, State, Territorial, Tribal, and Local entities must complete as they work towards becoming fully compliant with the NIMS.  State, Territorial, Tribal, and Local jurisdictions will be required to meet the FY 2007 NIMS implementation requirements as a condition of receiving federal preparedness funding assistance in FY 2008.

It is important to recognize that NIMS implementation will not end in FY 2007. The NIMS is a dynamic system, and the doctrine as well as the implementation requirements will continue to evolve as our prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities improve and our homeland security landscape changes. It is critical NIMS baseline training becomes an integral part of the organization’s training program. Organizational changes as a result of new hires, promotions or mission changes amplify this training requirement. Additionally NIMS processes will still have to be exercised in future years.

The successful implementation of the NIMS depends on the participation and integration of all Federal, State, Territorial, Local, Tribal entities and community-based organizations, including public, non-governmental, and private organizations that have a role in preventing, preparing for, responding to, or recovering from an incident. States, Territories, Tribal entities and Local jurisdictions should therefore consider and include appropriate organizations in their NIMS implementation efforts, including private sector emergency medical and hospital providers, transportation systems, utilities, and special facilities such as industrial plants, nuclear power plants, factories, military facilities, stadiums and arenas.
