Brick, NJ – Brick Township and the Brick Township Police Department’s Office of Emergency Management are now receiving real-time weather and wind information from a weather station on the Barrier Island.  The station is operated by WeatherFlow Inc., a California-based weather monitoring service.

“Accurate weather information is essential to coastal communities like Brick Township,” said Mayor Stephen Acropolis.  “The partnership between Brick Township and WeatherFlow will help not only our residents and our emergency responders in times of bad weather, but will help provide other communities with invaluable information.”

In March, the Township Council approved a resolution that entered the Township into an agreement with WeatherFlow that permitted the construction of the station in the municipally owned parking area on Route 35 adjacent to Brick Beach III.  The 4-year agreement provides the Township and the OEM with access to WeatherFlow’s extensive weather data.  There was no cost to the Township for the construction or the weather services.

“Public/private partnerships like this are a win-win for the taxpayers,” said Council President Joseph Sangiovanni.  “We are receiving a valuable service from an industry leader at no cost to our taxpayers.”
