Adair County Emergency Management in coordination with the Storm Alert Center and Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Department will host a Storm Spotter Training Class on Tuesday, March 17 at 6 p.m. at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Office, 409 Fairgrounds Street in Columbia.
Daniel Wilson with the Storm Alert Center will teach the class. Attendees will learn how to identify severe weather, understand storm development, and properly report on weather conditions during severe weather events.
The American Red Cross in Kentucky will also be on site providing information on disaster preparedness and community response during severe weather events.
Adair County Emergency Management encourages community members, weather enthusiasts and first responders to attend this training. Storm spotters play an important role in providing real time weather information that helps keep the public safe during severe weather.
This event is free and open to the public.
"We hope for a strong turnout, as community involvement is a key part of strengthening Adair County’s preparedness during severe weather season," said Grant Loy, emergency management director.
