Today October 17th, Flagler County Government issues this press release regarding a free storm spotter class. For Flagler County residents who are interesting in learning about the weather, and storm spotting, this information may interest you.
Flagler County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service will host a free Skywarn Storm Spotter class from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25, at the county’s Emergency Services Building.
A meteorologist with the National Weather Service will teach the class that begins at 1 p.m. It will provide attendees the knowledge to become a part of a nationwide network of volunteers who support local emergency management and the National Weather Service by recognizing and reporting severe weather.
“It is so important for our community to have well-trained volunteers, because it helps improve weather reports and allows us to better prepare and protect our community,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “The class takes less than 2 hours to complete.”
Students will learn about storm formation and structure, and how to identify and report severe weather.
Registration is required, and can be done by visiting www.FlaglerCounty.gov/emergency and selecting Volunteering and Training from the menu, or by emailing EOC@FlaglerCounty.gov.
