Native storm trackers make the difference when every second counts

Tornados and other severe storms that stretched across three states killed nearly 30 people this month.

Before that, storms left at least 37 people dead and damaged hundreds of homes. Early warnings are key to saving lives during tornados and other damaging weather events.

Join Native America Calling to talk with people who are part of the process to spot severe weather and get the word out when minutes save lives.
