Baron Threat Net for Public Safety

Baron’s Threat Net suite is unmatched in the public safety and weather monitoring space. Threat Net incorporates three easy ways to track inclement weather: web portal, custom alerts, and mobile app capability. The fully-featured web portal weather monitoring system provides street level views and the ability to layer numerous data products. Threat Net also offers a mobile companion application for iOS and Android which allows access to real-time weather monitoring on the go.

These three methods of using Threat Net offer public safety monitoring to everyone, not just meteorologists. “It is very helpful that [Baron Threat Net] is so easy to use…does not require a lot of training for volunteers to step in and use it,” said Tyler Smith, of Tennessee’s Emergency Management Agency.

Additional key features of Threat Net include:

• Accessible via desktop computer, operations displays, tablets, phones, and smart watches
• High resolution, fully customizable mapping which allows for severe weather monitoring down to street level
• User-friendly navigation allowing for easy point-and-click data capture
• A full-screen interactive mode which provides unmatched visualization and enables users to quickly scan, monitor, and investigate all weather threats on a single screen.
• Detailed data and visual monitoring on precipitation and forecasted road conditions and hazards, an exclusive Baron product featuring data on severe weather threats such as damaging winds, hail, and flooding
• A monitoring system that displays real-time cloud-to-ground lightning strikes at street level.
• Storm Vectors enabling accurate storm tracking up to an hour in advance
• Threat Net’s Critical Weather Indicator, a Baron exclusive patented product, highlights to users in real-time the most dangerous storm situations.

Threat Net also has a tropical weather package which provides data on hurricanes and their unique features, including the hurricane track and forecast tool. In addition, Threat Net can provide public safety information on non-weather environmental threats such as HAZMAT disasters and terrorism by determining rain or wind conditions that may spread chemical spills, toxic smoke and gasses, and more.
