Severe Weather Attendant extracts pertinent emergency weather information from NWS alert feeds issued by your station's designated Weather Forecast Office and displays warnings on air, online, and on mobile devices for counties within your selected DMA. Provide designated administrators with alerts through emailed push notifications or internal alarms based on Alert Severity Codes, enabling them to review and approve alerts prior to airing.
Severe Weather Attendant interfaces with NWS CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) feeds, ATOM/RSS alert services, and a wide variety of satellite, web, and wire service receiving systems — ensuring your station never misses a warning from local and national monitored field offices.
