Notify teams of weather-related risks automatically

Purpose

1. Alert field teams and engineers about adverse weather risks to enable rapid decision-making, prevent operational downtime, safeguard assets, optimize field deployment, and comply with safety protocols.

2. Enhance efficiency by integrating real-time weather data with communication systems ensuring continuous risk notifications during evolving meteorological threats (storms, heavy rains, heatwaves, frost, etc.).

3. Reduce manual monitoring overhead and human error in weather surveillance.

Trigger Conditions

1. National or local weather service issues alerts (e.g., severe weather, yellow/orange/red warnings).

2. On-site IoT weather sensors detect thresholds exceeded (e.g., wind > 70 km/h, temperature < 0°C, rainfall > 30mm/h).

3. Scheduled pre-operation weather risk assessment (daily or before high-value field activity).

4. Changes in forecast from connected weather APIs indicating heightened risk.
