The National Weather Service (NWS), in partnership with the City of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Office of Emergency Management and the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC), will present two regional, multi-agency, interactive Flooding Tabletop Exercises on August 15th, 2025. The location of the workshop/exercise will be at the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC), 1398 Carrollton Crossing Drive, Kernersville, NC.
This workshop will provide an overview of the flooding and flash flooding products and services available from the National Weather Service before, during, and after storm events. After the presentations, a tabletop exercise focusing on making potentially life-saving weather preparedness and safety decisions will be conducted.
