| Activity | Open House at National Weather Service |
| When | Saturday, October 25th 2003...9 AM until 3 PM |
| Where | Our office is located near the main entrance
to Falcon Field Airport in Peachtree City, some 25 miles
south-southwest of downtown Atlanta. We are just off
Dividend Drive which is just off State Highway 74. The street address is: 4 Falcon Drive.
From Interstate 85: go to the Peachtree City exit...turn east onto Highway 74 for a 10-minute drive to Peachtree City. From Highway 74, turn right onto TDK Blvd., and
then turn left at the 4-way stop (Dividend Drive). On Dividend Dr., travel several hundred yards until reaching the entrance to Falcon Field (Falcon Drive). We are at the first building on the left.
From State Highway 85 Turn west at the intersection of 85 and 74. After
a couple of miles, look for the large Cooper Lighting building on the left.
There is a traffic signal there. Turn left at the NEXT traffic
signal (Dividend Drive). That intersection is marked with a small green sign
with an airplane. Cross the railroad tracks and turn left at the next intersection
(Falcon Drive). We are the first building on the left.

| Purpose | To bring a heightened awareness to the community on severe weather preparedness and river flooding preparedness. |
| Theme | A fun filled educational time in which information is provided to the general public through tours which will be offered every
15 minutes, various demonstrations (including an automated weather observing station), displays (including a weather balloon and groundwater flow model) and talks by National Weather Service and
River Forecast Center staff members. |
| Background | With the approach of our secondary severe weather season across Georgia, the education of the people across the state to the threats
and hazards associated with severe weather and river flooding remain very important. Due to the continued migration of people into the southern sections of the United States, and specifically portions of
Georgia, many people are not prepared for the different types of weather scenarios that can unfold across the local area. As we approach our secondary severe weather season that normally occurs
during November and December, this is both an excellent time, as well as forum, to provide as much information to as many people as possible. |
| Invitation | Please join the National Weather Service and Southeast River Forecast Center staff in making this Open House a great success. We really need
and appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you. |
