Early warning solutions that meet local and regional needs
In many countries, regional governments are responsible for alerting their populations to certain events that affect their regional and local areas. For example, in the case of
- Large fires and smoke alerts
- Chemical spills
- Floods
- Severe consequences of thunderstorms and extreme weather
- Power outages and regional critical infrastructure failures
- Health-related hazards
Regional leaders are responsible for assessing the hazard situation and taking appropriate action. To ensure that they are informed at an early stage, an Early Warning solution can be deployed. Based on data analysis, it detects critical situations and can be used to distribute warning messages to the population.
The warning system can be integrated into national warning systems, such as the modular warning system MoWaS in Germany or EU-Alert cross-national for the EU, which can multiply certain alerts in a variety of distribution channels. A large number of warning multipliers and warning means ensure the rapid transmission of information.
Utimaco offers an Early Warning System that can be used by regional governments. Thanks to its application interfaces and customizable design, it can be easily combined with sensors and other external systems.
Applications for Early Warning Regional Government
Early Warning for Heavy Rain
A flood warning system can provide critical information about risk levels, heavy rain warnings, flood timing and intensity, ensuring that municipalities and cities are warned at an early stage for critical decision-making and in turn, implement an effective response strategy.
Early Warning for Forest Fires
While wildfires pose a terrifying risk, early detection is key and fatal outcomes are preventable. External sensors and services (radar, satellite imagery or thermal imaging) can be used for monitoring possible wildfires.
Multi Channel Alerting
Send notifications or alarms on more than one distribution channel to maximize the timely reach.
Preparation & Alarming Chains
Prepare for crisis and disaster with executable action plans. Define alarming chains in advance to deliver an immediate response when disaster strikes.
