Designed to run alongside your IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) and WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) stack. Your COG, your originator authority, your existing tooling: unchanged. Nothing gets replaced. The 25.5 million U.S. residents who don’t speak English can finally receive and understand the warning.
FCC 23-88, adopted October 2023, sets a June 2028 deadline for Wireless Emergency Alerts to be issued in the 13 FCC-designated languages. The catch: carriers don’t write the alerts. Counties, states, and NWS offices do. Almost none of them can send anything in those languages today.
We do not generate forecasts or duplicate federal warning systems. We translate and disseminate the alerts your agencies already produce, in the languages the people you serve actually speak.
Every NWS severe weather alert — Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, Flash Flood, Hurricane, Heat, Air Quality — translated into Spanish and Mandarin Chinese the moment it is issued. Additional languages on roadmap.
Translated alerts are delivered directly to subscribers in your jurisdiction. Designed to complement the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), not replace them.
Subscribers only get alerted if they’re physically inside the NWS warning polygon — about 1.5 square miles of precision. A tornado warning for the next town over doesn’t reach the rest of the region. That’s what keeps people subscribed: the alert only fires when it actually applies to them.
County emergency management offices have the fastest path to deployment — often a single director’s sign-off under existing budget authority. State and federal partnerships scale from there.
The fastest path. Many counties can authorize 90-day pilots under existing OEM budget without RFP. Covers the LEP populations your CodeRED / Everbridge / WEA stack already misses.
Heat advisories, air quality, shelter-in-place alerts in Spanish and Mandarin for climate-vulnerable populations. Strong fit with CDC and HRSA-funded equity programs.
Coordinated multilingual alert dissemination across multiple counties. Eligible for federal pass-through funding via EMPG and HMGP. Pairs with state IPAWS COG authorities.
Title VI compliance for severe weather communications to tenants in public housing, Section 8, and state housing programs.
Pilot language-access components of the Weather Ready Nation strategic plan. Direct alignment with NWS multilingual communication priorities.
We welcome conversations with county OEM directors, state Emergency Management Agency leadership, NOAA & FEMA partners, and prime contractors seeking a language-access component for federal compliance.
90-day pilot in a single county, scoped under existing OEM budget where possible. Defined success metrics, weekly status calls, formal after-action report. Typical first-deployment path.
Overview of the platform, live demo of NWS alert translation, walkthrough of compliance posture, and discussion of fit for your jurisdiction. Available within 5 business days.
Multi-county state coordination, FEMA pass-through funding (EMPG / HMGP), NOAA Weather Ready Nation partnership, or subcontracting to a federal prime. Longer cycles, larger scope.
Direct purchase available for county and municipal procurement under most local authorities. Federal procurement vehicles (SAM.gov, GSA) in progress.
County OEM directors and state EMA leadership: 30-minute briefings available within 5 business days. Pilot scoping calls within 10. Capability statement, sample after-action report, and compliance documentation provided on request.
