HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Baron, a provider of critical weather intelligence, has launched its Baron Threat Net service, combining weather threat data with the ability to see and interact with information in the field on mobile devices.
“The Baron team is a partner with leading emergency responders, so we know how important it is that they get clear and instant alerts for threats, particularly during complex storms where indications of critical weather could be easily overlooked,” says Bob Baron, founder and Baron CEO. “Our commitment is to make sure you always know what you are facing and how best to respond.”
Baron Threat Net includes:
• 18 Baron exclusive mission-critical weather data products, including patented technology for the monitoring and detection of weather threats
• 50 data products to enhance situational awareness
• High resolution mapping down to minute-by-minute street-level tracking
• A new web-based format easily accessible with any browser, and optimized for presentation on all tablets
The new service delivers vital information on mobile devices in a format that is easy for emergency response teams to use and to explain to others, according to the company.
“So far it’s been great,” says Phyllis Little, EMA director, Cullman County, Ala. “I like that both my deputy and I can use it at the same time … if I’m on location, like at a school during a severe weather event, I can quickly show others the detailed weather situation, which is right there at my fingertips.”
