We're excited to report that Sumpter Township is now certified as a StormReady Community by the National Weather Service.
To be officially StormReady, a community must:
- Establish a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center
- Have more than one way to receive severe weather warnings and forecasts and to alert the public
- Create a system that monitors weather conditions locally
- Promote the importance of public readiness through community seminars
- Develop a formal hazardous weather plan, which includes training severe weather spotters
and holding emergency exercises.
We are one of only two townships in the State of Michigan to achieve this certification.
