Emergency Weather Alerts
Stay One Step Ahead of the Weather
Get informed, location-specific emergency weather alerts and activate emergency response plans before natural hazards strike. Everbridge and WeatherData Services Inc., an AccuWeather Company, have teamed up to enable organizations to communicate actionable weather warnings and emergency instructions to front-line managers, first responders, employees, citizens, and others at a moment's notice.
Integrated Weather Forecasting and Emergency Notification
WeatherData's SkyGuard® meteorologists monitor weather conditions around the clock. When severe weather.such as tornados, lightning, flooding, hurricanes, and snowstorms.threaten to strike your area, meteorologists issue warnings to clients. The Everbridge Aware™ emergency notification system automatically broadcasts the right message to the right people at the appropriate time. Emergency notifications to first responders, citizens, employees, and others can be customized with relevant location- and weather-specific instructions. Unlike with the National Weather Service, which issues warnings covering large areas, you receive warnings only when specific locations, such as those where you have facilities or operations, are at risk.
Warnings and emergency alerts are delivered across multiple personal communication devices, including mobile phones, landlines, BlackBerry smartphones, PDAs, SMS, email, instant messaging, fax, pagers, and more. Up-to-the-second dashboard and detail reporting give meteorologists the information they need to make follow-up calls if required and provide executives with visibility into emergency response operations for quick, informed decision-making.
