We are pleased to announce that the East Mississippi Chapter of the National Weather Association has now become a joint chapter of the National Weather Association and the American Meteorological Society. Throughout the past 10 years, we have not only sustained our mission but expanded upon it. The chapter is also proud to be involved with school weather awareness. Recent school visits by chapter members have allowed students and staff of local area schools to learn about severe weather. Weather radios have been donated to the schools in conjunction with the visits.
Education is also a high priority for the chapter.
Chapter members attend NWS training sessions presented by the Jackson, Memphis, and Birmingham offices. In addition, the chapter travels to NWA conferences yearly as well as providing guest speakers for the members. We want to thank you for looking at our web page and, as we continue to grow, we'd like to hear any comments or suggestions you may have.
