Severe Weather Reporting
The National Weather Service has always asked people to contact local law enforcement with reports of severe weather. They are now getting rid of the middle-man, and taking some calls away from 911 center operations.If you experience severe weather, the new toll free phone number is 877-633-6772. When somebody calls the number a menu systems steps them through the reporting process. Once the report is sent the National Weather Service receives it on the computers in their office. They will then call the individual back to check the validity of the report and get further information.
Severe weather reports are an important part of the warning process. The new toll free number makes it easier to report severe weather. You can also give me a call, or drop an email with severe weather reports.
