• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

How to obtain access to a mandatory evacuation area during a hurricane?

I am hoping to document a hurricane this year, however after reading some other threads on ST I'm concerned about obtaining access to a mandatory evacuation area. Can anyone give me some direction / pointers on what credentials are needed for this?

Thanks

Chad
 
You'd probably at the least need some official paperwork from the institution that sponsors your research. But even that might not be enough.
 
Early entry, luck, cop sweet talking, etc. There is no "official" way to get in, unless you are an "official". Ride with a veteran, you should be fine. Not even media or outside police/rescuers are aloud into some areas. Got this around Freeport with Ike. Oddly, Galveston was easy access. That's how luck plays a big roll.
