Teaching Students About Weather and Weather Safety
One of the most important ways that the Riverton office of the National
Weather Service helps prepare the public for hazardous weather is
through our school outreach program. The NWS in Riverton is
available to bring educational and interactive multimedia
presentations direct to your classroom. Presentations are typically
45 to 50 minutes in length, but modifications can be made to accommodate
your needs. Just contact NWS Riverton Warning Coordination
Meteorologist Chris Jones via
e-mail or call 1-800-211-1448 to schedule a fun presentation for
your students. Help us spread the word about weather safety and
weather education in western and central Wyoming.

The NWS office in Riverton has available a guide to
help school administrators and teachers develop a severe
weather emergency plan for their school. The guide contains vital
information to prepare teachers, administrators, and school bus
drivers for hazardous weather. To
request your own copy contact Warning Coordination
Meteorologist Chris Jones via
e-mail or call 1-800-211-1448. |
Teachers and school administrators are encouraged to attend a
spotter training
course at least once every two years. Also, every school and each
district headquarters should be equipped with a
NOAA Weather Radio. Links to other resources are provided below for teachers and school
administrators. We hope that these resources will help you prepare
your students for hazardous weather.
