Canwarn

The Canadian Weather Amateur Radio Network, is a beacon of community resilience and preparedness. This volunteer-driven initiative, originally formed by weather-trained ham radio operators, has blossomed into a nationwide network of vigilant storm spotters. Equipped with specialized training, these volunteers scan the skies for signs of severe weather, from menacing funnel clouds to sudden hailstorms. Their real-time reports to Environment Canada are crucial, often providing the first alerts of localized weather events that might otherwise go unnoticed. CANWARN’s efforts not only enhance public safety but also foster a spirit of camaraderie and civic duty among its members, making it a vital component of Canada’s severe weather preparedness strategy.
