• Educating the public and/or other spotters in the principles of weather and safety

• Demonstrating extraordinary resourcefulness and/or leadership during a specific weather emergency

• Long-term contribution of time, energy or money to serve and protect a local community or communities from severe weather threats

Nominations will be judged by representatives from the National Weather Service offices serving the state of Minnesota in consultation with the Minnesota Skywarn Workshop, with an award presentation taking place the day of the conference.

MN Skywarn Workshop Operations Grant

We will be making a major announcement at the 2012 Minnesota Skywarn Workshop! Thanks to your continued support, the Minnesota Skywarn Workshop is going to begin awarding grants for Skywarn Operations in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. These grants will help to further communications between Skywarn groups and the National Weather Service.

Budgets are tight, but the equipment for the life-saving work of storm spotters isn't free, or even cheap. The Minnesota Skywarn Workshop Operations Grant will help fund necessary Skywarn equipment to help continue to build out one of the top Skywarn operational regions in the country.

Join us at the 2012 workshop as we announce details on this exciting new opportunity!
