Sheldon, Iowa — With the coming of spring, we also prepare for the severe weather season.
If you’d like to know more about severe weather, there is a storm watch class scheduled for next week at Northwest Iowa Community College (NCC) in Sheldon. Warning Coordination Meteorologist Peter Rogers with the National Weather Service’s Sioux Falls office tells us about it.
The class is this coming Monday, March 30th, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Northwest Iowa Community College, Room C328. Rogers says that while many who attend the class are law enforcement, EMS personnel, firefighters, and plant safety managers, the class is open to the public.
He tells us what to expect if you go.
The class is free thanks to the emergency management agencies of O’Brien, Sioux, Lyon, and Osceola counties. But the folks at NCC would like you to register. You can do that here.
For more information from NCC, you can give them a call at 800-352-4907, or from the Sheldon calling area, you can call 324-5061.
There are other classes scheduled around the wider area. For more information about those classes, click here.
For those who can’t make it to the in-person sessions, the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls will also be holding some online programs. They will be held on Thursday, April 2nd, from 1:00 until 3:00 p.m., and Tuesday, April 21st, from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. Click here for the links to register for those classes.
