Hi. I’m Dan Gallagher. I’m a meteorologist and solution engineer at Baron Weather. My job is to listen to the weather challenges of people and basically offer the best recommendations to help them minimize the impact on their operations and keep people safe. We’re really excited about this new partnership with Juvare. We have a lot of similar customers. We serve the same industries, and we have a very similar mission, and that is to help people prepare for and respond to emergencies.

So when you combine the best assets of both organizations, it makes it into an even more powerful tool, one source to get all the most important information that you need. So some of the benefits of the combined efforts of Juvare and Baron Weather is that we make it easy to understand what the impact will be. And then as the event is going on to figure out, okay, what’s been the impact? So for example, we have forecast wind speed, and wind gust information for thunderstorms.

So in advance, you can see where the areas are going to be that are gonna have the highest impact. And then as the event is unfolding, we’re actually building a damaging wind path. Makes it really easy. It stands out.

You can know exactly what part of your community has been affected so that you can get resources directly to those areas as quickly as possible. And then within the platform, within WebEOC, you can communicate that out and get everyone on the same page, everyone working together to, minimize the hazard. I think we all recognize that, you know, today, we’re getting the hazards, more frequently and they’re having a bigger impact too because as society builds up and, you know, we have we’re building new things, people moving into areas, that they didn’t used to live in before, the impacts can be even more wide ranging.

You know, with our resources, we make it very highly local, and we have the latest and greatest technology in order to, assess the impact on those who are in the path of a storm or natural disaster. For city managers and emergency managers, I think they’re encountering, weather and disasters that they have not had to in the past before, and that makes it so important to have the best weather information available to you. If it’s something you’re not used to encountering, you need that assistance more than ever. And so, we can provide information as to areas that are going to be impacted.

And then as the event is unfolding, we give you that intel with updates every few minutes on exactly where the impact is, how bad it’s gonna be, and the timing of when it’s gonna arrive and when it’s gonna be out of the area. I think the key reasons that people go with Baron Weather is that we do all the analysis and interpretation for you. I’m a degreed meteorologist, but most of our customers are not. And so we need to make it as easy as possible and give timely and accurate information.

So, basically, you want technology working for you. You want things, as easy and quickly as possible. The biggest thing today is everyone’s working with a limited budget, and you need to use your limited resources efficiently as possible.

And using WebEOC in combination with the barren weather data, really maximizes the opportunities and the decision making prowess of the end user. So we’re really excited about this partnership with Juvare. The combination of WebEOC Nexus and the Baron Weather layers are gonna be a key component to responding to disasters. If you’re an existing customer, go ahead and pull those Baron Weather layers in and see how they can make a difference, in your decision making process. If you’re not a WebEOC user, I encourage you to sign up for a free trial and see how this can help you keep your community safe.
