The Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) invited the National Weather Service to provide a free training session on hazardous weather awareness and preparation on Wednesday (June 10), according to information provided by the association.
The event had 58 people registered.
The hour-long session featured Christopher Morris, senior service hydrologist for the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio, who discussed how to stay informed on various weather hazards, reviewed essential hazard preparedness and warning procedures and highlighted NWS resources and readiness programs that can assist camp owners with hazardous weather awareness and preparedness.
“The weather webinar put on by Texas Campgrounds was a great way to better provide knowledge for myself and the owner at our RV park in Canyon Lake,” noted Blake Birkeland, B2 Hideaway RV Park & Cottages. “From the webinar, I will be able to develop my plan of action for our park in Canyon Lake. I also became an ambassador for the weather channel. It was a great webinar!”
The event’s PowerPoint presentation recording will be available to TACO members through TACO’s password-protected member website.
