Safety & CompliancePurpose
1. Deliver real-time, automated alerts regarding hazardous weather or risk conditions to staff and patrons to ensure maximal on-site safety.
2. Enable immediate communication based on official meteorological or local risk data, supporting rapid evacuation, pause, or adaptation of scheduled activities.
3. Achieve compliance with safety standards, reduce incident response time, and maintain a record of warnings and staff acknowledgments for audit purposes.
4. Reduce manual monitoring, providing uninterrupted safety vigilance 24/7.
Trigger Conditions
1. Real-time weather data reports severe conditions (e.g., lightning, storms, high winds, heat waves).
2. Risk APIs detect thresholds exceeded in environmental risk (flood, landslide, avalanche probabilities).
3. National or local authority RSS/ATOM feeds announce relevant advisories or warnings.
4. Site-specific IoT sensors detect danger (tremors, falling rocks, abnormal water levels, air quality thresholds).
5. Scheduled activity start time triggers pre-activity weather check and alert if necessary.
