Description
The Central Plains Severe Weather Symposium (CPSWS) has been able to bring together broadcast meteorologists from all major local network broadcast stations on an annual basis. CPSWS encourages the media’s responsibility to the public in disseminating severe weather information. The CPSWS is closely tied to the efforts associated with Nebraska Emergency Management’s Severe Weather Awareness week. The underlying theme for all CPSWS events is: Surviving the Storms. Exhibitors and Severe Weather Experts arebrought in each event to touch upon this theme and its varying aspects. One unique aspect ofthe CPSWS has been its ability to bring together different organizations and agencies under one roof to promote its underlying theme.
