NeRAIN--> Application

NeRAIN Volunteer Application Form

Do you live in Nebraska? Would you like to become a NeRAIN volunteer rain, hail, and snow observer? Great! We are always looking for more volunteers. Our goal is to have at least one observer for every township but in some cases, the more observers the better!

In order to participate in this project, you will be required to attend a special 90-minute training session on measuring rain, hail, and snow. Training session schedules are yet to be determined but if you are accepted into the program, you will be notified.

If you have not already read the steps to becoming a volunteer, please read them now. If you have, please fill out the form below and submit it directly to us via the Internet. Please note that this is only an application for registration. Not everyone that applies will be accepted into the program.

Fill out this form to join the project. Note: use "Tab" instead of the "Return/Enter" key to jump to the next field in the form. ALSO, items marked with an * are required.
