The vision of Douglas County Emergency Management is that Douglas County, Kansas will be a community that is disaster aware and disaster prepared.
The Skywarn volunteer works under the direction of emergency management staff to monitor severe weather conditions and to report severe weather elements to the Emergency Management Operations Center. Skywarn volunteers may be assigned other responsibilities during disaster situations.
