Northwest Iowa SKYWARN® needs your eyes!!! We're looking for anyone in the three-county area, or surrounding areas, who is interested in becoming a severe weather spotter. You don't have to be a mobile spotter, but we do ask that you hold an amateur radio license, or are looking to obtain a license (and don't worry, we'll help you get it!). There is an application for you to fill out and you will be required to attend the annual storm spotter training put on by the National Weather Service. Dates for these classes can be found under the Training Dates section of this website. In addition to storm spotters, we are looking to form a damage assessment team as well as locate individuals who would like to volunteer in the county EOC during times of EOC activation. Please contact anyone on our Contact Us page if you have any questions.

To apply, download our Volunteer Application form and return it to your county's Emergency Management office.

Remember also, we're more than storm spotting...
