We continue to issue Lancaster County Emergency Management ID Cards and will
take photos on training day. Please bring your driver’s license as you complete your
registration. Your data will be stored securely.
The 2025 storm spotter packets are being updated and will be emailed to all
credentialed spotters in Lancaster County who have completed the ARES registration
and ID card processes.
When storms hit, we are some of the first volunteers to respond. Get involved today.
