The Weather Chaser for Emergency Management

Weather drives the events you manage. Live radar, BoM warnings, river heights and rain gauges give you the current picture while an event is running, and the archive plus gauge-corrected rainfall reconstruction give you a trustworthy record for the review afterwards.

How Emergency Management Teams Use It

Why Weather Matters

Most of the events emergency teams manage are weather-driven: floods, storms, fire weather and heat. Seeing rain bands, storm cells and river rises as they happen, in one place, shortens the time between the sky changing and the decision to act.

Situational Awareness During an Event

The live map animates radar at 5-minute intervals across the last week, alongside BoM warnings, live river heights and rain gauges, so the operations picture stays current without switching between sites.

Rainfall Reconstruction for Reviews

After an event, our rainfall estimation service reconstructs gauge-corrected radar rainfall over the affected area: point time-series, catchment area-averages and NetCDF grids for after-action reviews and modelling.

Organisation accounts put duty officers, planners and field teams under one subscription and one invoice, with individual or shared logins.
