Weaver

J. Weaver continues as the NOAA representative on the City of Fort Collins' Project Impact steering committee.  Project Impact is a FEMA-funded effort which provides "seed money" to several cities  in each state to develop innovative ideas for disaster mitigation.  Weaver's thrust is aimed at getting FEMA to think of weather  information as a potential mitigation tool.

J. Weaver gave two presentations to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the Fort Collins flood.  The talk was entitled  "The Fort Collins Flood of 28 July 1997 -- What happened, and what have we learned?"  The first presentation was to a group of about 40 members of a local volunteer precipitation reporting network, and the second was to 87 members of a local Lions club.
