Gary Spegal US Army Garrison Adelphi Lab Center "Very Good Presentation, but that is to be expected from Bill Proenza. I also want to thank all involved with this concept, very nice idea." Lew Fincher Hurricane Consulting, Inc. "Some of the slides had good info. They were run through pretty quickly. I'm not in emergency response directly, so I'm probably not your target audience." "Excellent forum. Gave us opportunity to listen to Important updates from NWS leader Bill Proenza. Our office is located in the Keys and traveling to the mainland for meetings is difficult due to time and budget constraints. The NOAA/NWS webinars are an excellent way to get these important updates. I hope you continue to offer these webinars to provide updates during hurricane season." Gus Rios FDEP South District "Good slide representation." Orange Cty Fl Water Reclamation "Very good presentation, excellent update on the Saffir-Simpson scale." Fuentecilla Philadelphia University |
