The workshop will provide the same training that is provided for the hearing community with a focus on the more accessible means of reporting such as online reporting and social media. The topics will include NWS weather products, such as the definitions of warnings and watches, Tennessee Valley severe weather climatology, proper reporting techniques, how to safely spot severe storms, and how to identify important cloud features in developing storms such as funnel clouds and wall clouds. This opportunity will allow the Deaf and hard of hearing to be more equipped with the tools necessary to make responsible decisions and take appropriate action when life-threatening severe weather occurs.
