Weather Warn Information

WeatherWarn was built from the foundation of Weather Message Processing Software . Since 2009 it has matured and developed to todays demand for current mass notification product. Its initial goal was simple , activation of outdoor warning sirens based on polygon weather related events from the National Weather Service. Historically , the only method for a Public Safety Agency was to first receive a notification that an area was placed under tornado watch or warning. They would then go to a legacy warning controller and manually activate ALL of their sirens or select individual sirens to sound. Unfortunately, this left a lot of room for an error to occur. Either from human error during activation process or late response to a weather related event. In 2007 , the National Weather Service began issuing warnings in the shape of a polygon, which are intended to warn only the locations and people within the polygon of severe weather. WeatherWarn monitors the same National Weather Service feed as do the public safety agencies and news resources. When a polygon is issued for a customer area, WeatherWarn will begin the process of activation to the customers warning devices .
