Darrera installs and commissions a weather alert system in the City Hall of Esplugues de Llobregat (Barcelona), which will allow the coordination of emergency actions against weather conditions that may be hazardous to the local population.
As of this May, the weather station of the city hall has an automated email alerting system for severe conditions, such as heavy rains, howling winds or extreme temperatures. These alerts will be received by municipal security officers on their mobile phones and will enable the immediate implementation of appropriate emergency procedures.
The data recorded by the weather station of the city hall are remotely managed by the Department of Environment, and people can view them in real time on Weathercloud, a new network formed by weather observers from around the world.
