The Wisconsin State Climatology Office is collaborating with the Rural Partnerships Institute and Wisconet to organize meetings in rural Wisconsin communities to better understand weather and climate information needs and learn the local impacts of extreme weather events.
These sessions aim to identify the most pressing weather and climate-related questions facing local stakeholders, with a particular focus on impacts from extreme weather events such as flooding, drought, and extreme winter storms. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and share perspectives and experiences with extreme weather.
Information learned from these events will be used to develop data, tools, and resources to help communities better understand local weather and climate, as well as improve extreme weather preparedness.
Meetings will be held in person at designated locations in northwest, northeast, and southeast Wisconsin. There will be a virtual option offered in the spring for those who cannot attend an in-person event. Visit climatology.nelson.wisc.edu/
