As you are aware, Fort Worth and Tarrant County are under Emergency Declarations in an effort to limit possible exposure to COVID-19.  With these declarations in mind, until further notice we will not be working any public service events.  We may be asked to take part in Skywarn related activities if we have severe weather.  Please follow the advice of the CDC and local officials to limit your chance of becoming infected with the Corona virus.

1.  Wash your hands often using Soap and Water for at least 20 seconds.  If soap and water is not available, hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content can be used instead. 

2.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
