External Talks
|
The following are examples of external visits we provide to the community.
Any group can request a talk.
School Visits: Our meteorologists visit area schools to educate and
inform students about weather as a part of a curriculum in school systems.
These talks are usually presented in conjunction with weather units during
the course of the school year. Our presentations can be geared toward any
age group, preferably Grade 2 or higher. A wide range of topics can be
addressed. Some of these topics include (but are not limited to):
- weather basics
- weather safety
- review of weather events to strike central New York and northeast Pennsylvania
- careers in meteorology
- earth’s climate system
The number of outreach activities that WFO Binghamton is involved with is
limitless. Just a few examples: Career Day/Fair/Counseling or Science or
Math Fairs/Contests or being a judge, proctor or mentor at science-related
activities.
Community observances: We visit a wide variety of community groups
in an effect to educate our neighbors about the weather. Types of organizations
we are involved with include Kiwanis, Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Sertoma Clubs,
Senior Citizen Organizations, etc. Any group is welcome to invite a National
Weather Service meteorologist to speak at their next function.
The Skywarn program is an effort to train members of the community to recognize
severe weather, and aid the National Weather Service in protecting life and
property. We also have programs geared toward any group interested in weather
safety, or communities interested in becoming
Storm Ready. Popular presentation
topics are geared toward communities interested in learning about historically
significant weather events which have affected us, such as Hurricane Agnes, the
Blizzard of 1993, the tornado outbreaks of 1998, and more recent flood events
such as June, 2006.
