Workshops

Do you feel lost when watching the weather or weather alerts on television?  Have you ever wished you were able to understand what is going on without having to depend on your hearing friends or family to inform you?  We can help!

Deaf Weather service is glad to offer you and your organization a workshop covering basic weather to hurricane and emergency preparedness. Please fill out the form below to let us know what you need and we will send you more information.

What are the types of workshops Deaf Weather offers?

BASIC WEATHER – This is the most common workshop requested by most people. What you will learn is the basic TV weather elements, graphic symbols, radar reading and satellite imagery. Time: 4 hrs.

ADVANCED WEATHER – Advanced weather workshop is for those who want to re-educate themselves on how the weather works such as “Where does rain come from,” “What is the difference between hail and sleet,” “How does a tornado form,” “What makes fog,” etc. Time: 4 hrs.

HURRICANE WORKSHOP – This workshop can be tied with the Emergency Preparedness workshop. You will learn everything about hurricanes, from their initial formation out in the ocean to what happens after they make landfall. The workshop includes many handout resources and information about how to prepare yourself before the storm strikes. Time: 6 hrs. (3 hrs hurricane weather and 3 hrs emergency preparedness)

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WORKSHOP – Everything you need to know about how to prepare yourself before and after the storm. You will learn how a simple kit can be made at home without spending hundreds of dollars, as well as what to do and where you need to go during the evacuation, and what to do after the storm is gone. Time: 1-4 hrs.
