At this week's meeting of the Osage County Board of County Commissioners, the Commissioners received a quarterly update from Osage County Emergency Management Director Jerry Roberts.

 

Roberts reported that the storm season got off to a good start this year with a record breaking turn out to the Osage County and National Weather Service – Tulsa Storm Spotter training. In 2014 the class had a reported 9 participants, which did not compare to this year's class of 73, making it the largest training class in the Oklahoma for 2015. Roberts specifically wanted to thank the newspapers and Bartlesville-Radio for the successful turnout.

Also on the agenda this week was the distribution of Powerheart AED, Automatic External Defibrillators, throughout Osage County. Of the nine units provided to the County from the Health Department, one unit will go with Emergency Management, one for the Osage County Courthouse, three units for District 1, one for District 2, two for District 3, and one for the Treasurers office in Pawhuska.
