Weather doesn’t wait. Whether it’s a snowstorm, heavy rain flooding access roads, or extreme heat threatening vulnerable personnel, timely and targeted communication is critical. That’s exactly where Incident Aware excels.

Sample scenario
Imagine you manage multiple facilities and a severe windstorm warning is issued. With Incident Aware you could:

1. Launch an alert to staff at the at-risk site immediately — via push, SMS, and email.
2. Include a checklist: “Secure outdoor equipment,” “Move vehicles to designated areas,” “Report damage via app with photo.”
3. Enable staff in the field to send updates and photos back into the incident chat in real time.
4. Trigger existing overhead paging or building alerts for the site, if configured.
5. After the event, conclude the incident, review the timeline of responses, and archive for analysis.

Best practices for getting the most out of it

• Pre-build alert templates for weather categories (e.g., high wind, flooding, extreme heat) so you can act immediately.
• Define recipient groups by location and role so only relevant people are alerted.
• Train users on how to send updates and use the checklists. Familiarity saves time when every minute counts.
• Review the post-incident data: which alerts were acknowledged, how quickly staff responded, and what actions were taken.
• Integrate with your weather monitoring process to automatically or semi-automatically trigger alerts.

Severe weather is a reality for many organizations. The cost of delayed or incomplete communication can be high — safety risks, property damage, and business disruption. With Incident Aware, you gain a purpose-built platform to reach your team, focus action, track progress, and continuously improve preparedness. Contact Genesis today to learn more!
