What the storm costs in parks & rec

  1. Visitor safety

    Flash sends alerts before conditions become unsafe so you can adjust plans, communicate with staff, and act before weather becomes a problem.

  2. Unstaffed sites

    Recreation sites are spread out and lightly staffed. The warning has to reach the person at the gate.

  3. Reopening decisions

    Flash predicts lightning up to an hour ahead across every park, pool and trail, so recreation departments clear and reopen without guessing.

Questions parks and recreation directors and pool managers ask

Yes, per site, by mobile alert, so the person at the gate is told without a relay.

Yes. Flash allows you to create and monitor multiple locations, making it easy to track conditions across fields, job sites, facilities, or service areas from a single platform.

Flash helps improve safety by giving you earlier visibility into dangerous conditions. Instead of reacting to weather after it arrives, you can anticipate risks like lightning and extreme heat and take action sooner to protect people, operations, and assets.

Flash is designed for real-time decision-making during active operations. Whether it’s a game, job site, or event, you can monitor conditions, receive alerts, and make immediate calls on delays, pauses, or safety protocols.

Flash provides real-time and predictive alerts, including lightning detection and proximity alerts, first strike and all-clear notifications, lightning probability forecasts (1-hour and 5-hour), and heat risk and environmental condition alerts. These alerts are designed to help you act before conditions become dangerous.
