These frequencies are changed sometimes for various reasons
such as repeaters being down. If this happens we will
try to reroute the system. Please remember
if you cannot get into the "System", use other means of getting your reports to us. You may want to relay to someone who can get into the "System". You may also call the National
Weather Service in Peachtree City (NWS in PTC) with your severe weather report at 866-763-4466.
Please be sure to include your Name, Phone number, time of severe weather or damage and location thereof.

Skywarn Nets
It is encouraged for severe weather reports to be brought to your local Skywarn net first if possible. From there the local Skywarn nets SHOULD provide some sort of "liason" between the STATE net listed below and their local net. By all means reports should be sent to the NCS at the NWS as quickly as possible. Using this setup will help with congestion during heavy outbreaks and allow those severe reports versus non-severe reports to get through.
