Ossian Rotary is participating in the upcoming eclipse mania that seems to be sweeping the country. To prepare for our time in the path of the total eclipse, Ossian Rotary will welcome Adams County Emergency Management Agency Director Barb Lehrman and Deputy Director Magen Wilson, who together have ten years’ experience in emergency management for Adams County.
Barb and Magen have been planning for the 2024 total solar eclipse since February 2023, by attending webinars, training and contacting Emergency Management directors in other states who experienced the 2017 total solar eclipse.
The Emergency Management and Preparedness Agency provides the support, tools and resources to ensure that Adams County can build, sustain and improve its capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards.
Although the eclipse is not considered a hazard, it may bring large crowds into the path of total darkness, in which Wells County sits.
Anyone is welcome to attend Ossian Rotary this Thursday morning, at 7:30 at First Baptist Church of Ossian, 1001 Dehner Drive, for this program.
For more information, please contact Jeremy Penrod, Ossian Rotary President, at jeremy.penrod@edwardjones.com.
Please note that Ossian Rotary will cancel when Norwell Community Schools has a delay or cancellation due to weather.
Next Thursday, March 21, Ossian Rotary will hear from Megan Jinnings of the Adams Wells Crisis Center.
