Are you interested in attending a Severe Weather Awareness/Storm Spotter Training, but the main event on March 9th just doesn't fit into your schedule? If that's the case, you'll be happy to know that there are other opportunities being scheduled across the county during the months of March and April. Every year, Emergency Management staff takes the program created by the National Weather Service and presents it to fire departments, civic organizations and other small groups. Many of these groups open their classes up to the general public. Below is a list of those training opportunities. (Note: As class requests are still coming in, you may want to check back later to see if more dates/locations have been added.)
