Rhode Island SKYWARN Training Sessions for July 2010 Announced
Hello to all..
We have two confirmed SKYWARN Training sessions for the state of Rhode Island. The sessions for Rhode Island were delayed due to the March 2010 Flood Disasters which tied up Amateur Radio SKYWARN Coordinators and Emergency Management Officials who were very busy with the response and recovery phases of that federally declared disaster at a time when we would normally book SKYWARN training sessions for the region. Work is still being done to possibly confirm a session in the Newport, RI area which may occur later in the summer or Fall timeframe. Below are the training session dates and locations in Rhode Island and links to the updated schedules:
