BRANSON, Mo — Emergency Managers from the City of Branson and Taney County will be hosting a Severe Weather training seminar on Thursday.
The first session will be in the Branson City Hall council chambers at 2:00 p.m. That's at 110 West Maddux.
The second will be at the College of the Ozarks in the Plaster Business Building auditorium. That session starts at 6:30 p.m.
These programs are free and open to anyone.
Branson's Emergency Manager Ted Martin says that locally trained weather spotters are great partners with Emergency Managers and National Weather Service Meteorologists.
Storm spotters are local citizens and emergency responders that provide the first line of information on the weather as systems approach or pass over local communities.
Thursday's three hour training programs will be presented by a meteorologist from the Springfield National Weather Service.
If you go, you can expect to learn the basics of thunderstorm development, how to identify severe weather, how to report information, and weather safety.
