A New Era of Storm Chasing & Community Impact: Northeast GA Storm Chasing Joins Forces with TORCON WX Team Tonight at midnight EST, the storm chasing landscape changes as Northeast GA Storm Chasing (NEGSC) officially merges with the TORCON WX Team. This marks a monumental step forward in our shared mission to protect lives and serve communities facing severe weather threats.
NEGSC’s Proud Legacy
Over the past year, NEGSC has become a trusted source for timely and accurate severe weather alerts, reaching a devoted audience across Northeast Georgia. Our commitment to community safety extends beyond forecasting, as we’ve championed initiatives like:
COSWET (Community Outreach Severe Weather Educational Training): Empowering countless individuals with the knowledge to prepare for and stay safe during severe weather.
HWAP (Homeless Weather Alert Program): Providing life-saving NOAA weather radios to our unhoused neighbors and collaborating with emergency managers to ensure their safety.
Uniting with TORCON: A Shared Vision for the Future
TORCON is more than a partner; they are a true ally in the often-competitive world of storm chasing. While others chase fame and fortune, our shared values remain unwavering: prioritize safety, educate the public, and save lives.
This merger amplifies our impact. With expanded resources and capabilities, we can reach more people than ever before with life-saving alerts, innovative technology, and comprehensive training programs.
Setting a New Standard for Storm Response
What truly sets us apart is our dedication to going beyond storm chasing. Our teams are equipped with advanced search and rescue skills, medical training, and cutting-edge equipment. We are first responders who are ready to transition from tracking storms to saving lives at a moment’s notice.
Now, this expertise will be expanded across TORCON, with dedicated SAR teams in every region. We’re also taking the lead in addressing the opioid crisis by training every TORCON member as overdose first responders equipped with Narcan.
Looking Ahead: A Brighter Future for All
The merger of NEGSC and TORCON is a testament to our unwavering commitment to making a real difference in the lives of those we serve. The future is bright, and we’re excited to unveil groundbreaking plans in 2025 that will revolutionize the field of storm response and community safety.
Thank you for your continued support. We are immensely grateful to our dedicated team members, whose passion and expertise are the driving force behind our mission.
Stay tuned for a special video unveiling tomorrow morning, marking the official merging of our organizations. Together, we are TORCON and ready to take on whatever storms may come.
