Skywarn
Disclaimer: SKYWARN® is a program of the National Weather Service.
The SKYWARN® program is a volunteer program of trained weather spotters who report severe weather to the National Weather Service
BCARC participates with SKYWARN® by providing real time weather information during severe weather events.
Why Amateur Radio Matters During Severe Weather Events:
- Reliable emergency communications
- Real-time storm reports
- Backup communications infrastructure
In times of extreme weather, SKYWARN® becomes an invaluable tool for not only hams but also for our local communities, emergency responders, and weather forecasters who rely on accurate, real-time reports from trained spotters.
