Complementary roles.
Different programs.
SKYWARN is the National Weather Service’s volunteer severe-weather spotter program. ARES is an ARRL communications program. Amateur radio can carry spotter reports where local arrangements exist, but club membership does not make someone an official spotter.
Follow your NWS office’s current training and reporting guidance. Confirm radio procedures with net control or the responsible coordinator.
