Observation • Documentation • Public Preparedness
Regional chapters conduct member orientation, maintain local reference files, coordinate supervised observation assignments, and forward completed case materials to the National Archive. Chapter status reflects administrative capacity only and does not indicate reported activity within a region.

Chapters are administrative units of the Council, not independent authorities. They may accept reports, conduct approved training, and maintain working copies of case material. Final archive numbering, restricted-file custody, public safety notices, and national methodology revisions remain Council functions.
Chapter coordinators may be written to directly at the addresses above; a full list of Council offices is kept on the Contact page. Members seeking a local meeting should review Membership and Frequently Asked Questions. Chapter boundaries are practical and may overlap where a drainage basin or report sequence crosses state lines.
