The three most trusted and referred-to sources of information during severe weather events are the National Weather Service, state and local emergency management, and local media. WDT is working with partners to extend iMap Weather Radio and its supporting infrastructure into a single conduit for receiving severe weather alerts from all three entities plus value-added custom alerts based on WDT's advanced algorithms. We'll discuss the integration of these components and present significant case studies for how constituents and customers have used the system.
