In many industries, email and text-based notifications exist to present users and customers with prescient and timely notifications about danger to their interests or events that directly affect them. This can be seen at large universities which in an event of public danger, text based alerts are sent out. For wildfires, where access to recent and forecast weather data is essential to making informed decisions, no such system exists. The development of the Fire Weather Alert System fills this need, providing incident command teams, firefighters, and dispatch officials with an easy-to-use, text based weather delivery system that improves safety and decision making. This seminar is part of the  Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory 2018 Seminar Series.
