Paulding County Skywarn
National Weather Service's Skywarn
The National Weather Service has a number of devices for detecting severe weather events including radar, satellites and lightning detection networks. However, the most important tool for observing threatening weather events are the trained eyes of the volunteer Skywarn Storm Spotter.

The carefully-trained Skywarn Storm Spotter performs an invaluable service for the NWS. His or her real-time observations of tornadoes, hail, wind and significant cloud formations provide a truly reliable information base for severe weather detection and verification.

Americans live in the most severe weather-prone country on Earth. Each year, Americans cope with an average of 10,000 major thunderstorms, 2,500 floods, 1,000 tornadoes, as well as an average of six deadly hurricanes. Potentially deadly weather impacts every American. Some 90% of all Presidentially-declared disasters are weather-related, leading to around 500 deaths per year and nearly $14 billion in damage.

StormReady, a program started in 1999 in Tulsa, OK, helps arm America's communities with
the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property- before and during the event. StormReady helps community leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety programs.

Paulding County has met or surpassed the requirements of the National Weather Service for certification in the StormReady program. Paulding Skywarn is an integral part of the weather notification process.
