Weather Alert Monitoring & Notifications

Receive alerts if it rains or snows at your project site

Written by Sydney Fetter

Comply26 scans each project's nearest weather station daily based on the GPS coordinates for each active project to determine if a precipitation event has occurred in the area. The system will send various notifications if a triggering event has occurred based on the minimum chance of precipitation (%) and precipitation amount (inches) provided for each project.

For each project assigned to a Reviewer or Inspector, they may receive one of the following notifications: 

Weekly Forecast: Generated at the beginning of each work week, this notice provides a seven – day forecast outlining the chance of precipitation and possible precipitation amount at each site. This is a future looking, informational notice. 

Forecasted Precipitation Events: Lists the projects assigned to the Inspector which meet the minimum alert notifications: precipitation amount or chance of precipitation. This is a future looking, informational notice.

Precipitation Event Notice: Lists any projects which the nearest weather station data meets or exceeds the alert parameters set for each project. For example, if the minimum precipitation amount for Project A is 0.15 inches, the recipients will be alerted when the nearest proxy station receives ≥ 0.15 inches precipitation.

UPDATE MONITORING PARAMETERS

To modify the minimum weather alert parameters you must change the minimums for the project in question: 

  1. Select the 'Project Details' tab.

  2. Select ‘Edit’ at the bottom of the page. 

  3. Update the Precipitation Alert Minimum (%) and/or the Precipitation Event Minimum (Inches).

  4. Select ‘Update’.

NOTE: Lower values will result in more frequent notifications and alerts. Higher values will result in fewer alerts.
