I know when we did it when we were sending stuff to Sterling, it was being QCd by others prior to being sent to NWS. I will ask Ashley what her plan is and let you know.

Great question! My understand is that it would be used by emergency management, and open to general public vs needing a spotter ID to submit directly to NWS. It is not limited to just PG County, would be communicated across other emergency management offices. Also not limited to storm damage, hail, or snowfall reports, could include traffic accidents and other situational awareness reports. So if a neighbor posts something on social media about damage to their house that they otherwise wouldn't report to NWS because they are not a spotter per say, you would then pass that along to the group.

Happy Monday Friends! I attended the Mid-Atlantic Severe Weather conference in Richmond on Saturday and talked with Ashley Morris, an emergency manager out of PG County, about her initiative with gathering information following weather events in Maryland. I was part of a group last winter that submitted reports to her, that then went to Sterling, but it fizzled out after a while. However, she is revamping the idea so that it's not specific to Sterling any longer. We are looking for folks that would help share weather related situational awareness, damage reports, impacts you may hear about, first responder calls, etc. We would do our reporting through GroupMe (or WhatsApp, to be decided). If you're interested, please let me know in this thread and I will be in touch about how reporting will be done and more information as I get it. Thanks!

It was good! Lot of good information across the board. Glad you enjoyed too!

Spent the day in Richmond attending the mid Atlantic severe weather conference. So much good weather research going on these days, and got to meet a lot of folks I’ve known from Twitter in broadcast meteorology and emergency management.

did you just give the answer? lol
