How does a skywarn net work?

• When severe weather threatens the Morongo Basin, one of the SKYWARN Net Control Operators will start the net.
• The net preamble states what is going on, what status the net is currently in (standby, active, emergency), and any information of relevance to the current situation.
• For the duration of the net, the repeater will occasionally call out “SKYWARN Net Active”
• Every 15 minutes, the NCO will give information on the current weather situation.
• Every 30 minutes, the NCO will give the half hourly synopsis of the condition in the Morongo Basin, including road closures, damage, and other points of general interest to the safety of net members.
