OLATHE, Kan. - As the spring severe weather season approaches, Johnson County Emergency Management and Homeland Security will offer a free public severe weather awareness training presentation next week.

"This type of training is vital to continue to prepare Johnson County for all hazards and emergencies," says Nick Crossley, Director of Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security. "Providing these types of educational opportunities for our citizens is a priority preparedness activity."
