Summary

Buffalo County Emergency Management canceled a planned spotter-training session in the local area because of a scheduling conflict and said the nearest alternative classes are April 1 in Hastings and April 15 in Minden.

Lewis told the council that a planned severe weather spotter training on the 26th was canceled because of the Huskers' tip-off and that organizers expected low attendance at the originally scheduled location. He encouraged anyone seeking spotter certification to attend classes on April 1 in Hastings (Adams County) or April 15 in Minden (Kearney County).

Lewis described who qualifies as official spotters for county operations — members of fire departments, law enforcement, or amateur radio — and said local volunteer fire departments also participate when requested by emergency management.
