The Allegan County ARPSC provides volunteer support to the National Weather Service, local fire, law enforcement and Emergency Management in the monitoring of weather events that may prove significant to our area.  This includes weather spotter field reports of actual weather conditions as well as damage assessment after a weather event has occurred.

Weather events may include severe thunderstorms, tornados, ice storms, heavy snow, blizzards and the monitoring of local streams for flooding during heavy rains and ice dam conditions.

The safety of all involved is absolutely vital and of first priority.  Allegan County Emergency Management does not sanction the movement of monitoring personnel during severe weather events.   It is advisable tat all stations monitor the weather conditions from their home locations whenever possible to maximize their safety and to avoid becoming a victim themselves.

The links on the next page provide useful weather data and users are encouraged to be familiar with each one.
