What's Included
When you set up your account, you can at that time decide what your all-clear notification time once that last strike affects your 6-mile circle of monitoring, either 15 or 30 minutes. (The NWS and most athletic organizations suggest 30 minutes.)
The number of contacts per school:
- 5 phone numbers to any type of telephone
Types of notifications:
Schools that sign up for WeatherCall for Schools receive the following types of National Weather Service warnings issued within a 1-mile zone around the school’s location:
- Thunderstorm/Tornado Watches
- Tornado Warnings
- Severe Thunderstorm Warnings
- Lightning alerts
On top of those notifications, schools also receive the all-important, "all-clear" message. You can also access alert history.
The content of the messages:
The first point of contact is the ringing phone since text messages and emails are most likely to be ignored, or delayed in checking for information. The message tells you that your monitored zone is in the path of a storm that has had a National Weather Service warning issued for it, and tells you what kind of warning it is (tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, lightning strike within 6 miles). Then the message instructs you to check your email immediately for important information regarding the NWS-issued warning.
That email contains the entire content of the National Weather Service issued warning, and it is important to read that message! It also contains a link to a web page generated for you showing you your location, in comparison to the warning location. It also contains the animating imagery of the closest NWS radar, giving you the important decision-making information within moments of the warning being issued.
Track Buses

Protect Fields & Pools
Use GPS tracking to keep drivers and teachers/coaches aware of dangerous weather when the bus is moving so they don't drive into dangerous weather.
Placing the GPS into security mode will also alert those in charge when the bus moves when it isn't supposed to. You can track the bus and alert authorities where the bus is.
