Some people are weather wise, but most are otherwise..."

Let Us Handle the Weather
When you have a toothache, do you go to the dentist or do you try to fix the cavity yourself? Why not look at handling severe weather situations that may impact your business, non-profit organization or other facility in the same way? By giving the experts at WeatherGuidance SiteWarn the task of monitoring, alerting and/or warning your key personnel of severe weather conditions, you can focus on making sure the severe weather action plans of your company or organization are properly executed as a result.
Fully Customized, Site-specific Warnings
While storm warnings issued by the National Weather Service and passed along via the news media, internet and other sources may serve the public at large quite well, they are typically not specific nor timely enough to meet the demands of a business or other organization with severe weather safety and/or asset protection concerns.
That's where SiteWarn from WeatherGuidance comes in. SiteWarn is a comprehensive, fully customized weather monitoring, alert and storm warning service. Whether you're in charge of safety and/or asset protection operations at a school district or a manufacturing plant (or anything in between), SiteWarn can help you stop playing weatherman and focus on doing your job.
Some of the industries that benefit from SiteWarn include:
•School districts and university campuses
•Hospitals,
nursing homes, assisted living and daycare centers
•Manufacturing
facilities and data centers
•City and state government agencies
•Amusement
parks, sporting arenas and other entertainment venues
•Aquatics
facilities and water parks
•Any operation with safety and asset
protection concerns related to severe weather
We Alert You To Your Concerns
Because SiteWarn is fully customized to fit your
specific operational needs and concerns, you'll never have to worry about
missing an alert of weather conditions that could affect your operational
and/or safety concerns. Some examples of the types of alerts and/or
warnings that we provide include: •Tornadoes, high
winds and/or large hail In each of the above cases, the user
specifies their minimum criteria to trigger an alert and/or warning.
If you are only concerned about winds of 65 mph or higher - that's what
you'll be alerted to. If you are only concerned about a tornado
threat within 2 miles of your specific location(s) - that's what you'll be
alerted to, and so on. "Null Warning"
Notifications If the National Weather
Service issues a tornado or other weather
warning that includes your location, but in our
professional opinion there is no threat to your
specific location, we will issue a notification
advising you that there is no threat to your
facility. Due to the typical very
large size of National Weather Service warning
areas relative to the actual threat, this type
of scenario occurs frequently. As an
example, see a Severe Thunderstorm Warning
recently issued by the National Weather Service
(NWS) below. Note the huge size of the
warned area (outlined in red) as compared to the
area that actually faced a potential threat
(circled in white):

customers tell us that our "Null Warning"
Notifications help their employees and customers
avoid unnecessary panic due to a false alarm,
but they also help them avoid losing hundreds of
hours of production time, which often equates to
thousands of dollars in annual savings.
Unlike many of our competitors, we
do not simply
repackage National Weather Service Warning
information and/or adjust it to fit your area. Each alert and/or
warning from WeatherGuidance is prepared by a
highly trained, experienced SiteWarn staff
member from development to issuance (as well as
with all follow-ups). The result is accurate, precise and
actionable weather information desigined to fit
your specific needs.
•Lightning Strikes
•Temperatures
of a specific level
•Rainfall, snowfall
and/or ice accumulation
•Tropical
storms and hurricanes
•Wildfire location and spread
•Earthquake
notifications
•Any other weather or related hazards that may impact
your specific operations
No Repackaged Warnings
