Stanton County Emergency Management Receives Donated cyclonePORT Weather Station from SDS Weather, Inc.

Stanton, Nebraska — The Stanton County Emergency Management Agency is excited to announce the recent installation of its second cyclonePORT weather surveillance system, which became operational on July 1, 2025. The system will significantly enhance the county’s severe weather monitoring capabilities.

This system was donated by SDS Weather, Inc. in an effort to support the growing need for their technology in the great state of Nebraska. “Given that Stanton County EMA’s director, Michael Frohberg, has proven to be a constant resource for communication and collaboration on the cyclonePORT project, it was a perfect fit for this sponsorship.” said Michael O’Sullivan, Director of Account Management for SDS Weather, Inc.

“The addition of this system directly supports Stanton County’s ability to monitor severe weather in real time,” said Frohberg. “It also enhances situational awareness for our partners at the National Weather Service in Valley, Nebraska, by providing reliable local data and live video that can assist in forecasting and warning decisions. We’re extremely grateful to SDS Weather, the team behind RadarOmega, for their generous donation and to Stanton Telecom and Town & Country Technologies for helping make this project possible.”

This commercial-grade station delivers live-streaming video along with comprehensive weather data, including lightning detection, temperature, humidity, dew point, sustained wind speed and direction, pressures, wet bulb globe temperature, and rainfall measurements.

A high-definition live camera — which will overlook the City of Stanton — is scheduled for installation in the near future. The system was deployed in partnership with Stanton Telecom and Town & Country Technologies, who are hosting and supporting the station’s operation.

This cutting-edge technology will allow emergency management agencies, fire departments, 911 centers, hospitals, and others to improve real-time awareness of hazardous conditions, all in pursuit of their shared mission to protect the lives and property of Nebraska residents and visitors.

With this addition, Stanton County EMA joins a national network of more than 200 cyclonePORT systems, all integrated with National Weather Service radar data to provide highly accurate, real-time weather insights. Prior to this technology, local officials had to rely heavily on spotters and public reports to confirm hazardous weather. “We still utilize spotters, because radar data from Valley, doesn’t see what is at ground level where we are. However, the addition of this system, will allow us real-time data and video to see things when spotters may not be readily available.” said Frohberg.

The public will soon be able to view the live-stream camera feed and real-time data by visiting www.cycloneport.com. Additional information about RadarOmega and the cyclonePORT product line is available at radaromega.com and cycloneport.com.
