The class could serve as the basis to become an “active storm spotter” — someone who regularly informs the National Weather Service of emerging severe weather — or simply provide the tools for you to determine when the skies are about to open. All who attend will leave with a basic knowledge of how storms work and what it looks like when one is brewing, a county release said.
The class will be held in partnership with the National Weather Service. It will be hosted in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center auditorium at 6 p.m. GJAC is located at 75 Langley Dr. in Lawrenceville.
Pre-registration is required. Those interested can call 770-513-5600 or email ema@gwinnettcounty.com
