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, Oct. 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 part of a nationwide network of volunteers.

“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.

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 .FlaglerCounty.gov/emergency or by emailing [email protected].

Emergency management encourages residents to stay informed about significant weather and other emergencies by signing up for ALERTFlagler at FlaglerCounty.gov/ALERTFlagler
