The Climate Category, Climate Incidents, and Weather Warnings
The Climate category aims to capture all climate incidents occurring across the globe that may impact day-to-day operations. Additionally, the climate category features weather warnings which leverage official government forecasting to provide advanced warning about serious weather conditions that may cause disruptions. The category is broken up into six streams:
Urgent and Developing
This stream monitors all significant climate incidents that have been identified as having a high impact. Overall, users will receive alerts about the most disruptive climate incidents and useful updates from samdesk's analyst team.
We recommend using this stream to monitor high impact climate incidents.
Severe Weather
This stream monitors all severe weather that is reported by official government sources. Overall, users will receive alerts about weather forecasts that have the potential to be highly disruptive such as extreme cold or heat.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for disruptive forecasts and extreme weather conditions.
Wind Condition
This stream monitors all climate incidents involving wind conditions. Overall, users will receive alerts about incidents such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or extremely high winds speeds that may impede operations.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for extreme wind conditions in sensitive areas such as those prone to hurricanes or tornadoes.
Wildfire, Smoke, and Air
This stream monitors all climate incidents involving wildfires and air quality. Overall, users will receive alerts about on-going wildfires, wildfire impacts, and air quality forecast warnings.
We recommend using this stream to monitor threats to your assets within the wildland urban interface that may be affected by wildfires and related incidents.
Seismology and Geology
This stream monitors all climate incidents involving seismic activity or with geological impacts. Overall, users will receive alerts about geological incidents that may pose a threat to individuals or assets.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for incidents such as earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanoes that can be incredibly disruptive to operations.
Precipitation
This stream monitors all climate incidents relating to precipitation patterns and atmospheric weather. Overall, users will receive alerts about disruptive levels of precipitation and its impact on the surrounding area.
We recommend using this stream to monitor for disruptive water related incidents such as floods or monsoons.
