Authors: don leick

Weather and Esri GIS have long been a natural fit, with countless applications. Now, with the latest Esri technology, even greater benefit can be achieved. This presentation will demonstrate the use of real-time weather with ArcGIS Online and Esri widget technology. We'll show a weather alerting "widget" using the Esri widget technology and ArcGIS online. It will show the value of automated location-based weather alerting. It will also illustrate the visualization of that weather in ArcGIS Online. We will do so using a severe storm event. With this "story" we will show the value of integrating advanced weather in the latest Esri technology, benefiting disaster and emergency management, departments of transportation, electric utilities and many others.
