Severe Thunderstorm Spotter Network Application Form

I would like to join the Severe Thunderstorm Spotter Network for Victoria. I acknowledge that I have carefully read the duties of spotters and I am aware of the responsibilities of spotters in the event of a severe thunderstorm or on hearing about damaging thunderstorms in my general area. I acknowledge that reporting will always be secondary to safety and that the Bureau does not ask spotters to pursue active thunderstorms to obtain information.
