Boosting Public Safety with Timely Alerts
Rapid delivery also drives another Dewberry project across the country, serving the 5,400 square miles of Maricopa County, Arizona, in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Here, the turn-around involves deadlines not months or years away, but around-the-clock forecasts assessing rainfall, thunderstorm, wind, and lightning hazards during the region’s monsoon season from August through mid-October. With flash flooding and dust storms among the perilous natural hazards in this desert region, Dewberry’s Meteorological Services Program is providing weather forecasts and warnings to the county’s Flood Control District, which transmits the information to the county’s local emergency response and public works agencies. The firm’s Internet-based weather center monitors national weather radar and satellite information as well as many operational numerical weather models to provide timely alerts—a critical public safety tool in a region that can see heavy rainfall rapidly transformed into raging torrents.
Precise weather forecasts for Maricopa County, Arizona, are delivered on a rapid-turnaround, 24/7 basis to keep emergency managers, police and fire departments, highway and public works departments, and recreational area managers informed of pending weather threats, such as flash floods and dust storms.
