The Floyd County Emergency Management Agency will hold a SKYWARN storm spotter class at The Forum Monday, Feb. 22, at 6 pm.

In the past two years, more than 250 people have attended the class sponsored by Floyd County EMA.

SKYWARN is a program the National Weather Service uses to improve severe storm warnings. Trained volunteers serve as storm spotters, passing on information to forecasters during severe weather episodes.

Volunteers generally have an interest in the weather, and an interest in serving their community. Organizations frequently involved in the effort include emergency management, law enforcement, fire departments or rescue squads and amateur radio groups.

For more information, or to register for the free class, contact the EMA office at 706-236-5002.
