The General Meteorological Emergency Department (G.M.E.D.) is a non-profit, private organization founded in 2006 dedicated to providing the most accurate weather information during weather emergencies through communication with emergency management, the National Weather Service, area meteorologists, and local spotters/chasers. All of it’s members including spotters, chasers, forecasters, and directors consist of well-trained volunteers and are not obligated at any time to participate during operations. As a result, the General Meteorological Emergency Department does not claim to override National Weather Service authority as mandated by Congress, nor does it attempt to undermine the effectiveness of their warnings by the issuing of products, which it legally provides. The General Meteorological Emergency Department's products and the information they contain are only provided for areas in which a qualified member is present and fully able to verify. Please use each product with discretion and always refer to the National Weather Service for any weather related "warnings" that may be issued as no other weather organization can legally issue these products. Also, the General Meteorological Emergency Department is not obligated to administer any of its listed services, and is subject to times of inactivity that is determined by the resources of each county. All of the products of the General Meteorological Emergency Department are to be used in conjunction with the information provided by the National Weather Service, and is not intended to supersede the information they provide.
