Learn About Gallatin County?s Weather

Bozeman, MT ? The community is encouraged to come join Gallatin County and the National Weather Service on Thursday to learn about weather in our area through the SKYWARN program. The SKYWARN program is designed to teach people about hazardous weather conditions that are common in their area to enhance public recognition of dangerous situations. Individuals who attend SKYWARN training will be taught how to recognize weather events and how to pass what they see onto the National Weather Service, providing valuable eyes on the ground. The information learned is valuable to anyone, regardless of their plans to pass what they see on to the National Weather Service.

As we approach flood season residents should evaluate the need for flood insurance. Many residents do not realize that damage from flooding is not covered by homeowners insurance and requires a seperate flood insurance policy. Flood insurance polices also require a 30 day waiting period to take affect, so don't wait until flooding begins. Visit floodsmart.gov for more information on the federally backed National Flood Insurance Program.
