TESSA does not offer membership services. Current efforts are focused on severe weather education projects such as the National Storm Conference, which is free and open to the public. The conference is held every other year in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex. Details about the annual conference are posted at this web site.
“At TESSA, we are committed to severe weather safety and act as an important link in the integrated warning system.”
