Solutions for Emergency Management
WDS helps emergency managers stay ahead of severe weather with clearer impact timing, better briefing rhythm, and a faster path from forecast to action.
4070 helps emergency management teams connect the weather to the business call with forecast views, live radar and observations, operational alerts, and meteorologist support.
How emergency management teams use 4070.
Forecasts, radar, alerts, and meteorologist support stay in one workflow, so the evidence and the recommendation do not drift apart when the day gets busy.
Alerts that come with a next move
Threshold-based alerting keeps emergency management teams focused on the weather that can actually change the plan.
Forecast views that speak your language
Forecast views connect timing, thresholds, and site exposure to regional coordination calls instead of stopping at generic conditions.
Radar and observations without the scavenger hunt
Live radar, storm reports, lightning, and observations give leaders the evidence they need before changing the plan.
Meteorologists available 24/7 for critical calls
WDS stays involved before and during the call, with meteorologists available 24/7 when cost, service, timing, or safety is on the line.
