Home ›Local Severe Weather Safety and Spotter Classes to be Held
Green County Emergency Management announces that in-person severe weather/tornado spotters classes will held this year on Thursday, March 31, 2022. The first class will be at 1:00 p.m., at the Monroe Fire Dept. #1 at 601 W. 17th Street (by Badger State Ethanol), and the second class will be at 6:30 p.m., at the Juda Fire Department – Community Room, N2350 County Road S, Juda. Jacki Anderson and Cam Miller, Meteorologists with the National Weather Service, will be instructing the classes.
The classes will be split in two sections with the first hour covering the essentials of what you need to know to correctly identify and report severe weather to the NWS and the second hour covering safety aspects for spotters and the general public. Anyone can take these free classes and you do not have to become an “official” tornado spotter.
Pre-registration is appreciated by calling Green County Emergency Management at (608) 328-9416. One weather radio will be given away at the end of each class! A schedule of other counties that are sponsoring these classes can be found at https://www.weather.gov/mkx/spotter-schedule. Additional resources to help you get prepared for the storm season can be found at Green County Emergency Management’s website at www.greencountyem.com and follow us on Facebook, too.
