Online Training: The NOAA/NWS Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB)

The NOAA/NWS Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB)
On-line Training Resources for Emergency Managers & Intro to Dual-Polarization Radar

As our first program of the new year, EMForum.org is pleased to host a one hour presentation and interactive discussion Wednesday, January 9, 2013, beginning at 12:00 Noon Eastern time (please convert to your local time). Our topic will be the NOAA/NWS Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) whose primary goal is to increase expertise among National Weather Service personnel and their core partners so that they can better serve the public during warning operations. The new dual-polarization radars that are being deployed at Weather Forecast Offices across the country will also be introduced, as well as additional on-line training resources. Our guest will be Andrew Wood, on assignment with WDTB from the University of Oklahoma Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS).

Please make plans to join us, and see the Background Page for links to related resources and participant Instructions. On the day of the program, use the Webinar Login link not more than 30 minutes before the scheduled time.

As always, please feel free to extend this invitation to your colleagues.
