In the Southeast, severe weather season never really ends. Tornadoes can strike in late winter and again in the fall. Hurricane season runs June through November. Summer storms can pop up in minutes. If you’re planning an outdoor event, you need more than a weather app and a prayer. This session brings together the people who have actually made the call, managed the crowd, and dealt with the aftermath. Bring your real questions.
