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 for certain weather events.
