This is the time of the
year we will be experiencing bad weather condition with thunderstorms, plenty
of rain, and even floods in low lying areas. Local authorities have set up
flood monitoring teams to be on the standby in case there is flooding and to be
available to evacuate those affected.
In the preparation and
anticipation of thunderstorms, big trees are being trimmed to protect the
community and properties and drains are being cleared to prevent flooding in
times of heavy rainfalls. Bad weather conditions are expected in many areas
especially those within the paths of typhoons actively making their way across
the globe.
As members of the
public, especially those staying in flood prone areas, etc. it is our
responsibility to stay updated on the weather conditions and keep ourselves
tuned in to any warning alerts by our local Meteorological Department when a
warning signal is being picked up by the severe
weather tracker. When the alert warning is released, there will be ample
time for the evacuation work to be carried out to get those affected to a safe
place.
For those who are
staying in remote areas that are prone to flooding or areas that are exposed to
severe weather conditions, an outdoor weather tracking system that is fully
integrated with in-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning detection technology will
be needed. It can be used to alert the community with outdoor
warning sirens in times of approaching danger, and also by sending out
lightning-strike alerts, emails and text alerts to recipients.
The severe weather
tracker system comes equipped with a built-in battery backup and are made up of
professional-grade components which are virtually maintenance free. These
outdoor weather trackers are built for outdoor installation with a fully
integrated indoor control unit which contains a loud internal speaker with an
adjustable volume level to alert personnel inside. It can be wall-mounted or
can be placed on a desktop to provide control buttons for users.
Users are able to configure
hours of operation, lightning-strike distance, and alert duration. The system
is equipped with a real-time dashboard displaying the current alert status
information such as connection, active, last stroke time, distance, and a
countdown clock with the estimated time to All Clear. This type of outdoor
alerting system is necessary for schools, universities, big organizations, and
etc.
