Global Authoritative Weather Warnings
Access severe weather warnings and alerts from an expanding network of national meteorological and disaster management agencies around the world.
DisasterAWARE integrates Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) services and other authoritative meteorological warning sources, bringing geographically distributed weather alerts into a consistent intelligence framework.
Our network includes 139 live CAP services, providing broad geographic warning coverage across supported countries and territories.
Available warning intelligence includes:
Available records may include geographic warning polygons, hazard classifications, severity, urgency, effective times, expiration times, and source information.
By integrating authoritative warning networks through a unified service, DisasterAWARE helps partners deliver broader weather awareness without independently maintaining numerous national agency integrations.
- •Severe Thunderstorms: Warnings for dangerous convective weather, including associated hail, wind, and tornado threats.
- •Heavy Rainfall: Alerts for intense precipitation and associated flooding potential.
- •High Winds: Warnings for strong winds, damaging gusts, and other significant wind conditions.
- •Extreme Heat: Heat advisories, warnings, and other temperature-related threats.
- •Extreme Cold: Cold weather warnings, wind chill, and dangerous low-temperature conditions.
- •Winter Storms: Snow, freezing rain, sleet, blizzards, and other hazardous winter weather.

DisasterAWARE's geospatial intelligence offering provides access to weather forecast layers that help organizations understand where dangerous conditions may develop.
Available intelligence includes:
Precipitation Forecasts
Visualize expected rainfall and precipitation patterns to identify areas where heavy rainfall or flooding may develop.
Wind Forecasts
Understand predicted wind speed and direction across supported geographic areas and forecast periods.
Temperature Forecasts
Monitor expected temperature conditions, including extreme heat and cold.
Snow & Winter Weather Forecasts

By connecting warnings with observed conditions, technology partners can better distinguish anticipated weather threats from actual weather activity.
- •Radar & Precipitation: Radar imagery and available precipitation observations.
- •Wind Conditions: Available measured wind speeds, gusts, and severe wind reports.
- •Temperature Conditions: Observed temperature and related environmental information.
- •Snow & Winter Conditions: Available snow-depth observations and supporting winter weather information.
- •Severe Storm Activity: Authoritative storm reports, radar-derived hail information, and available tornado or damaging wind observations.
- •Flood-Related Conditions: River gauge measurements, hydrological observations, and available flood information.
- •Weather-Related Impacts: Available reports of disruption, damage, or other consequences associated with significant events.
From forecast conditions to real-world observations.
Geographic Exposure, Historical Context & Operational Impact
