Why EM teams stick with Weatherstem

## You're not buying software. You're getting a team.

We talk to a lot of emergency managers. The reasons EM teams don't adopt weather software are not feature gaps — they're operational realities. Too many systems. Not enough training. Nobody onboards the new staff. The system was set up once and never revisited. The day it actually mattered, it failed. Weatherstem is built differently because we know that's the actual problem.

Other weather vendors

### Software you have to figure out, maintain, and remember to use.

- Sold a license, handed login credentials, left to figure it out
- Thresholds set up once during onboarding and never revisited
- New staff inherit a system nobody trained them on
- Yet another dashboard your team has to remember to monitor
- Hardware that fails silently — and you find out when it matters
- Ticket queue support, generic responses, slow turnaround
- Buy-in from leadership dies the first time it doesn't work as promised

With Weatherstem

### A team embedded in your operations, not another login to manage.

- **On-demand training calls** with our team whenever you need them — onboarding, refreshers, new staff, scenario walk-throughs
- **Regular check-ins** to review your alert thresholds, integrations, and what's changed in your operations
- **Monthly newsletters** walking through features your team isn't using yet
- **Step-by-step guides** for every workflow your team runs through
- **We monitor your stations** so you don't have to. If hardware fails, we know before you do
- **A team that picks up the phone** when a storm is developing and you need a read on it
- **Integrates into the systems you already run**, not another login to add to the stack

📞

#### Always-available training

On-demand calls with our team to onboard new staff, retrain existing teams, or walk through any scenario. No ticket required.

🔄

#### Regular system reviews

We come back to make sure your alert settings still match your operations. Things change. Your system should change with them.

📰

#### Monthly EM newsletter

Practical, feature-focused. We highlight one capability per month and walk through how customers in similar roles are using it.

📋

#### Step-by-step guides

Every workflow your team runs documented in plain language. Pull a guide, follow the steps, get the result. Built for shift handoffs.

🛡️

#### We monitor your hardware

Our team watches station health 24/7. If a unit goes offline or a sensor needs attention, we know first and we resolve it.

🔌

#### Plugs into your stack

Everbridge, Esri, Noggin, NWS feeds, REST API. Data flows where your team is already looking. No new login to remember.

What you get

## A monitoring system built for life-safety decisions.

Eight capabilities every Weatherstem deployment includes. These are not premium add-ons. This is what comes standard when an EM agency deploys Weatherstem.

📡

### Hyperlocal on-site data

Sensors at your facilities, updating every 0.8 seconds. Temperature, wind, lightning, rainfall, heat index, AQI, and more. Real conditions where decisions are made — not from an airport 22 miles away.

🚨

### Automated alerts, no staff required

Custom threshold rules per parameter, per location. The moment a limit is crossed, alerts go to the right people via SMS, email, push, dashboard, or siren. No one has to be watching.

⚡

### Dual-feed lightning detection

NLDN as the primary network with AccuWeather as a live backup. If one feed goes down, your alerts never stop. The only outdoor warning provider with redundant lightning detection.

🛰️

### NWS alert integration, built in

Every Weatherstem station ingests NWS watches, warnings, and advisories and routes them through the same unified alert system as locally-detected conditions. One stream, not two screens.

🌀

### Hurricane-rated hardware

The Protect Pro+ configuration is tested to 185+ mph wind gusts, with solar power and cellular connectivity. Operates independently when local infrastructure goes down.

📋

### Permanent logs for after-action reports

Every reading, every alert, every all-clear is timestamped and stored permanently. Pull a complete report for any date range when FEMA, insurance, or legal review requires it.

📷

### Live HD camera at every station

Standard on every Protect station. Visual confirmation of conditions at the location, eyes in the sky for the EOC, and historical playback for post-event review.

📞

### A team that picks up the phone

When conditions are developing fast, you reach a real person who knows your system. Direct support, rapid response, clear accountability. No ticket queues, no scripts.

Works with your stack

## Integrates with the tools EM agencies already run on.

Weatherstem data flows into the platforms your operations center already uses, so on-site weather intelligence shows up where your team is already looking — not in another tab they have to remember to check.

#### Everbridge

Mass notification integration for routing Weatherstem alerts through Everbridge to staff and the public.

#### Esri / ArcGIS

Station data flows into Esri layers for clients using ArcGIS-based common operating pictures.

#### Noggin

Built-out integration for agencies running Noggin for incident management and EOC operations.

#### NWS Alert Feeds

Native ingestion of National Weather Service watches, warnings, and advisories on every station.

#### REST API + WebSocket

Full programmatic access for custom dashboards, internal systems, and bespoke EOC tooling.

#### Public Station Pages

Embeddable public-facing station pages for transparency with constituents during severe weather events.

**Don't see your system?** If your EOC runs on something specific, talk to us. We build integrations directly with our EM customers all the time. The platform is designed to plug in, not stand alone.

Proof in the field

## EM agencies running on Weatherstem.

From statewide networks to single-county EOCs to parish-wide municipal deployments. Three operational examples below.

[

State-level

### Florida Severe Weather Mesonet

A statewide public safety infrastructure program administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and implemented by Weatherstem. Deployed across nearly all 67 Florida counties in partnership with local governments, agencies, and universities. Hurricane-rated Pro+ hardware, with water-level monitoring expansion in 2026.

Municipal / Parish

### New Orleans OHSEP

26 Weatherstem Protect Pro stations across Orleans Parish for continuous monitoring of wind, rainfall, heat, and air quality. AQI sensors added after the Super Fog event of 2023 created the need for visibility and particulate monitoring at neighborhood resolution.

County + Schools

### Wayne County, GA

Started with a single station at the county EOC. After seeing the operational value, the county EM referred Weatherstem to the local school district, which added a station and four Blast outdoor warning sirens. Two budget lines. Two operational needs. One shared infrastructure investment.

> "Weatherstem has become an essential partner in keeping our teams safe and our operations resilient. Their systems and support provide the situational intelligence we rely on during high-impact weather."

Grant-eligible

### FEMA and DHS grants can fund your deployment

Weather monitoring systems that support life-safety decisions and hazard mitigation planning are generally eligible under several federal grant programs. We work directly with your grant administrators to provide specifications, pricing documentation, and the technical justification language your application needs. Start early — grant cycles are slow, and the process is much easier when the vendor is involved from day one.
