Talks can range from 30-120 minutes depending on your group's needs.
Presentations are usually done using a computer multimedia format.
We can supply our own presentation equipment and brochures.
Talks are free (no charge).
If interested, email NWS La Crosse Warning Coordination Meteorologist Mike Kurz or call (608) 784-8275 x726. If you reside outside the NWS La Crosse service area, please find your local NWS office contact here.
