Runs alongside IPAWS and WEA. Your COG, originator authority, and existing tooling stay unchanged. The 68 million Americans who speak a language other than English finally receive the warning in the language they speak.
By June 2028, FCC 23-88 requires wireless carriers to send emergency alerts in 13 languages.
Only 18 pre-written templates qualify. Tornado. Flash flood. Hurricane. And 15 others. Anything else goes out in English.
Most of what your team actually issues doesn’t fit a template. Heat advisories. Air quality alerts. Local hazards. Your non-English-speaking residents don’t get the warning.
WeatherTranslate™ closes it. Every alert your team issues, translated in real time, in the languages your county speaks.
We translate and disseminate the alerts your agencies already issue. We do not forecast, originate, or replace federal warning systems — we translate them so the warning reaches every resident, not only the English-speaking ones.
Every NWS severe alert — Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, Flash Flood, Hurricane, Heat, Air Quality — translated into Spanish and Mandarin the moment it is issued. Additional FCC languages on roadmap.
Translated alerts ship to subscribers in your jurisdiction. Designed to complement IPAWS and WEA, not replace either.
Subscribers receive the translated alert only when they are inside the NWS warning polygon — roughly 1.5 sq. mi. of precision. A tornado warning one county over does not blanket the rest of the region.
County OEM directors often authorize 2-week pilots under existing budget — no RFP required.
