Discuss integration

The standard subscription provides release files and saved text filters. Exact facility, route, or polygon overlap requires your locations and a separately configured geographic rule; it is not inferred from a text match.

Method

From alert publication to operating review.

Every matched alert remains traceable to an official record and the approved customer geography.

  1. 01
    Collect official alerts

    Retrieve NWS alerts with required source identification and rate-conscious caching.

  2. 02
    Normalize timing and geography

    Preserve alert identity, zones, area description, severity, urgency, certainty, and timestamps.

  3. 03
    Match approved scope

    Evaluate only the facility, route, or operating area agreed with the buyer.

  4. 04
    Detect state changes

    Separate new, updated, persistent, and ended alerts.

  5. 05
    Validate the release

    Publish populated or valid empty releases only after freshness, evidence, integrity, and delivery checks pass.

Limitations

What this watch does not replace.

  • It is not an emergency-alerting, dispatch, evacuation, or life-safety system.
  • Official warnings, local authorities, and qualified safety personnel remain authoritative.
  • A geographic match indicates review relevance, not guaranteed facility impact.
