Weather events and alerts

IRIS Focus can provide alerts for weather events, such as a severe storm, turbulence, or flood potential, for user-defined areas of interest. You can see the alerts on the map and receive notifications as email and SMS.

In IRIS Focus, a weather event means a user-defined set of weather-related criteria. When an event occurs on the map, it is shown as an icon.

A weather event triggers an alert when it occurs within an area of interest. Users can receive notifications when alerts are triggered.

An area of interest is a user-defined area where the user wants to see alerts if certain weather events occur.

Alerts can be sent to external systems through an API. For more information, see IRIS Focus Administrator Guide (M211850EN).
