Beaver County's Storm Spotters Program

Beaver County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated during all thunderstorm or tornado watches/warnings issued for Beaver County. Our office uses the OKFIRST system, designed by Oklahoma Climatological Survey at Oklahoma University. A dedicated computer for WeatherNode constantly receives weather bulletins and pages EOC personnel with hazardous weather information. Our volunteer spotters are formally trained by the National Weather Service annually and informally throughout the year at our monthly meetings. These volunteers provide their own radios and equipment for spotting and give of their time freely. They are our number one resource during hazardous weather! Numerous tornado safety articles are published in the local newspaper throughout the year. In addition, we are available to give presentations and talks to any group in our area.
