Missouri Section Activity Report – June 2014

Jul 11

Posted by Jeff Young in Monthly Section Report | Comments off

June has been a busy month with participation in Field Day and Capstone 2014. Districts A, C, and F reported participation in Capstone 2014 exercise. All Districts had participation in Field Day. The Lebanon Club didn’t hold Field Day this year as their site was preempted by a funeral for a Sheriff’s Deputy and they participated in communications, planning and traffic control for the funeral. Sometimes more important things come first. Good job, Lebanon. Severe weather continues to demand attention by many Districts and June was no exception. As summer heats up, I am sure we will be seeing more severe weather and flooding.

The activity report for Missouri Section is below.

Have a safe summer & 73,

I want thank all of the ARES personnel and the leadership for the continued support of your local organizations and the Skywarn programs. NWS depends on our reporting of “Ground Truth” during severe weather events.  Remember to have a safety plan to protect yourself when weather spotting. Ending up as part of the statisics is not one of our goals.
