The CAPWATCH unit, with SENTRY software interfaces with the internet-based National Weather Service CAP v1.2 Common Alerting Protocol alert feed to quickly receive, filter, process, and distribute timely notifications of severe weather events. Additionally, the unit also allows administrators – such as security and life-safety personnel – to generate local emergency events to be distributed to the desired audience.
Stop Over-Alerting!
When you need pin-point accuracy in your alerting, you need the Gorman-Redlich CAPWATCH. Unlike FIPS-based alerting systems – such as NOAA Weather Radio – which send alerts with county-wide granularity, the CAPWATCH allows users to enter their LAT/LONG geo-coordinates and only receive alerts which directly impact their location.
In many FIPS-based systems, if an event impacts any portion of a county, the warning is typically sent out for the entire county. CAPWATCH’s geo-location filtering means that you won’t be taking actions for a situation that is occurring dozens or hundreds of miles away in the opposite corner of your county.
