Morning all

I received the following information from the EMA office and wanted to pass along.


Thank you for your feedback and input to help us develop our plans for spotter training this year. As previously mentioned, we will not be able to conduct in person spotter training classes this winter and spring due to restrictions associated with COVID. Therefore, we will hold several virtual spotter training classes. These classes will be open to the public and free of charge. Please feel free to promote to your staff, spotters, amateur radio operators and to publicize to the citizens in your community.
 
All of our classes will be conducted as live webinars with live Q&A. We will use the GoToWebinar software, which can host up to 1000 people for each session. These webinars will not be recorded. 6 webinars are currently planned in February and March, with different days of the week and diverse times represented. If the demand is high enough, we may consider a 7th webinar in April. All those who attend will need to register in advance. Below are the links to the 6 scheduled classes:
