"Slightly useful, not because of content but that I was constantly being taken away. I would like to review a transcript or revisit a recording to hear in its interity. "
John Wallace CRESA "Nice presentation, very informative." G Smith "Generally useful - I am located on the west coast (California). Thanks for the opportunity. I have asked to put my staff email group on your list for future course offers and will hope to sign in to the next one on Aug 24." Francesca Austin VHA OEM "Must mitigate my 'moderately useful' rating by saying I and two colleagues came into this meeting a full half hour late, ho hum. Will check out transcript and recording of the whole, and furthermore tune into the CC website, thanks." Mark Clemens Washington State Emergency Management "Useful information for looking for future opportunities for the NWS. Thanks!" Herb White NOAA/NWX "Great information.
