Storm Spotter Training<br />
One of the most effective ways for<br />
residents to become knowledgeable<br />
about severe weather warning signs is<br />
to attend a training seminar on severe<br />
weather. The National Weather Service<br />
in Dodge City provides storm<br />
identification training sessions each<br />
spring typically from February to April.<br />
This training is free and open for<br />
anyone to attend. These classes cover<br />
how to identify severe weather and the<br />
dangers associated with various type of<br />
storms.<br />
To check the schedule for storm spotter<br />
training sessions, check online at www.<br />

Volunteer Storm Spotter<br />
Residents who have attended the severe<br />
weather sessions can choose to become<br />
more actively involved in protecting the<br />
City’s residents by volunteering as an<br />
official National Weather Service<br />
Severe Storm Spotter. These Storm<br />
Spotters are responsible for keeping an<br />
eye on the weather and calling in the<br />
warning signs for hazardous weather or<br />
any instances of severe weather. It is<br />
recommended that Greesnburg train<br />
and certify at least one National<br />
Weather Service volunteer spotter.<br />
