On behalf of the city, things look pretty good.

Training alone is not going to be the answer anyway, as some of it just takes hands-on experience. Gaining core knowledge from a book or classroom experience is good, but learning by actually getting your hands on the equipment and using it is worth its weight in gold.
We could see what we thought was the tornado.

At this point, the project doesn't pencil out without state participation. State participation would help make something happen sooner and larger. It would help us get to critical mass.
