SAF-T-Net™
The county-wide severe weather warning has done much to alert local residents to the threat of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Something traditionally missing from severe weather warnings, however, is accurate site-specificity. During a severe storm, all residents of at least the affected county are alerted, even though the danger may only threaten a small area. And due to broadly-defined criteria, only the most severe thunderstorms merit warnings.
Baron Services has always championed an instant, localized approach to severe weather coverage. As a pioneer in severe storm identification and tracking technology, our approach has reached an even higher level with the new, patented SAF-T-Net™ - the first wireless alert that allows anyone in your viewing area to receive local weather advisories only when they`re directly affected.
SAF-T-Net transmits localized, text-based weather advisories to a variety of wireless devices. All a resident has to do to receive these alerts is register. SAF-T-Net`s patented storm tracking algorithms are constantly monitoring the nation for all rapidly-developing storms capable of predicting lightning, gusty winds and hail. Once the system detects dangerous thunderstorms, the storm cells` severity is assessed and areas of future threat are discerned. Before a storm becomes severe, SAF-T-Net sends an alert message only to those affected, specific updates, specifically directed, and all automatically.
SAF-T-Net`s severe weather notices can be received through a wide array of wireless communication devices, including pagers and cellular phones.
