Join The Nebraska Community Collaborative Rain, Hail,
and Snow (CoCoRaHS) Network!

The annual CoCoRaHS March Madness competition is on and Nebraska wants to win the CoCoRaHS Cup! Help us
win this year by becoming or recruiting a new precipitation observer today!

CoCoRaHS is a dense network of volunteers who measure and report precipitation (rain, hail, and snow). The network
is made up of weather enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds who send in daily observations from their homes, schools,
and businesses.

CoCoRaHS data is then used by a wide variety of organizations and individuals including meteorologists, hydrologists,
emergency managers, local media, city utilities (water supply, water conservation, storm water), insurance adjusters,
engineers, ranchers and farmers, teachers, students, and neighbors in your community.
