Storm Spotter Class 2023

We at Bates County Emergency Management would like to thank all the agencies that attended the NWS-KC Storm Spotter presentation last night at the Adrian Optimist Building. We had 37 first responders from all over the county, representing police, fire, sheriff and Sheriff’s Posse. Jared Leighton from the NWS-KC bureau, had an informational presentation that was very educational, and he did his best to cram his 12 years of experience into 2 hours.
Special thanks to Brenda Cecil for helping with the equipment issues, Jim Henry, Chief Gary Dizney and Brenda for setup of the venue and arranging drinks and snacks, and the Adrian Optimists for their facilities.
