Airport stations and regional forecasts provide essential context, but they may not reflect conditions at a wildfire ridge, public event, flood-prone roadway or critical facility. When minutes matter, local observations matter. Without TempestOne for Emergency Management, agencies often face: - Situational awareness gaps during rapidly evolving incidents - Aging or unreliable weather stations with limited connectivity - Multiple disconnected tools for weather observations, alerts, radar, and lightning - Limited ability to demonstrate the operational value of weather investments Tempest helps close those gaps. ## Built for Real-World Emergency Operations **Emergency management agencies face weather-related decisions every day, not just during disasters. Tempest provides the operational weather intelligence needed to understand conditions as they evolve and respond with confidence.**   ### Wildfire Response Track wind shifts, humidity, temperature and lightning near active incidents. Give field teams and incident commanders local observations that support evacuation planning, crew positioning and resource deployment.   ### Severe Weather Response Follow storms across your jurisdiction using radar, lightning, alerts and ground-level observations. Identify neighborhoods where actual conditions differ from the broader regional forecast.   ### Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) Provide decision-makers with a shared view of conditions across facilities, communities and incident locations - without switching among disconnected weather tools.   ### Public Works & Critical Infrastructure Monitor weather conditions that threaten roads, utilities, facilities, and critical assets, including flooding, damaging winds, extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, and lightning. Prioritize inspections, allocate resources, and improve preparedness before impacts occur.   ### Planned Events & Community Safety Monitor changing weather conditions for fairs, festivals, sporting events, parades, concerts, and other public gatherings using real-time observations and alerts. Help protect attendees, staff, and operations by responding quickly to evolving weather risks.   ### Year-Round Situational Awareness Maintain continuous visibility into local weather conditions throughout wildfire season, severe storms, winter weather, flooding, and large public events. Enable proactive planning and faster response before conditions become critical. ## Three Ways to Get Started **Whether you're replacing a single weather station or building county-wide situational awareness, Tempest offers a path that fits your needs and budget.**   ### 1. Deploy a Station Install a Tempest station at a critical facility, EOC, fire station, public works yard, training ground, or incident-prone location.
