We enable interagency collaboration to mobilize weather intelligence when it’s needed most.
severe weather preparedness
In the event of flooding, wildfires, and other extreme weather, there’s no room for indecision – by acting fast you save lives and protect livelihoods. Accurate, real-time data means you can move early, confident you’ve made the right choice.
Severe weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or wildfires, pose significant risks to human life. By improving response times, local leaders and emergency personnel can evacuate people from vulnerable areas, provide timely medical assistance, and ensure the safety of residents. Every moment counts in these situations, and faster responses increase the likelihood of successful rescues and reduce the loss of life.
Timely responses enable authorities to implement preventive measures that safeguard critical infrastructure, homes, and businesses. This includes reinforcing buildings, deploying flood barriers, or implementing controlled power shutdowns to prevent further damage. By acting swiftly, response teams can mitigate the destruction caused by severe weather, reducing economic losses for individuals and communities.
Faster response times enable better resource allocation. By quickly assessing the severity of a weather event, emergency managers can allocate personnel, equipment, and supplies in a coordinated and efficient manner. This ensures that resources are deployed where they are most needed and maximizes the effectiveness of response efforts.
mass PUBLIC SAFETY notificationS
Severe weather events often require evacuation measures to ensure the safety of residents in vulnerable areas. Alerts and notifications help authorities communicate evacuation orders and provide information on available shelters. By promptly notifying the public, individuals can evacuate to safer locations or find appropriate shelter, reducing the potential for harm during the event.
Public safety is a priority when you know lightning, flooding, or other dangerous weather is on the way. We automate alerts to warn everyone affected, letting you shut down operations and move people to safety in plenty of time.
During severe weather events, effective communication is essential for coordinated response efforts. Alerts and notifications facilitate communication between emergency management agencies, first responders, and the public. This ensures that everyone is aware of the situation, understands the recommended actions, and can coordinate their responses accordingly.
MULTI-HAZARD RISK MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED
Our depth of expertise and range of solutions can help you tackle the many emerging threats of extreme weather. And with a support team on-hand to help you make the tough calls, you can be confident handling any weather event.
With more than 17,500 automated weather stations and 1,800 lightning detection sensors across the world as well as the ability to help you make strategic monitoring upgrades, we can build a 360-degree understanding of risks for your specific community.
Severe weather events can vary widely within a single region. Hyperlocal data enables emergency managers and local leaders to assess the potential impact of severe weather on specific areas, such as neighborhoods or even individual streets. This assessment helps in determining evacuation orders, allocating resources, and implementing appropriate safety measures.

To maintain real-time awareness of dynamic flood conditions, Santa Barbara County’s Flood Control District maintains a public-facing website powered in part by AEM’s Contrail platform. Flood Control also maintains a network of field cameras to supplement its Contrail data and provide even greater situational awareness. This is how and why they chose to integrate the two.
Raleigh uses Gauge-Adjusted Radar Rainfall (GARR) data and Vflo® hydrologic modeling to improve storm preparedness, flood simulations, and output/runoff modeling in a flash flood-prone area.
To remain aware of where they face the greatest wildfire risk, Ventura County officials have created and continue to expand a network of Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS). But network expansion poses a chicken-and-egg problem for the county: how do you identify new at-risk when you don’t already have a fixed RAWS at the site to collect the necessary data? This is the story of how they've solved that problem.
ESS is helping the Country Fire Authority (CFA) of Victoria, Australia better manage wildfire risk with fixed and portable versions of AEM's weather stations. Learn how the stations are helping the CFA improve its understanding of wildfire behavior, fill in gaps in Australia's weather monitoring, and enhance the safety of prescribed burns.
AEM Elements 360 (previously called Contrail) enables Storm Water Services to ingest vast quantities of differently data in one central hub, overcoming the problem of data fragmentation.
