The National Weather Service (NWS) offices that serve the state of Florida are teaming up July 29 through August 1, 2024, to offer virtual tropical training sessions geared toward the general public. Each day will focus on a specific topic, and NWS will offer four sessions each day; two midday and two evening classes.
The goal is to reach and teach the public on not just NWS and National Hurricane Center (NHC) products, but HOW to properly interpret this information and WHEN and HOW to properly respond, from pre-season preparedness to the post-tropical impact recovery stage. NWS will also showcase Florida Division of Emergency Management, FEMA, and Ready.gov tools and resources.

The training sessions are open to the public but limited to 1,000 registrations for each session.
