Warning Employees of Severe Weather

Springtime often brings severe weather, especially in the Midwest. Strong thunderstorms with gusty winds, large hail, dangerous lightening, and even tornados can pop up quickly without much warning. This can create ominous situations for people who work outdoors and don't have the benefit of watching radar or hearing weather alerts every 5 minutes.

If you are an employer with employees performing duties offsite, Alerts Made Easy can play a significant role in keeping them safe. By simply entering the cell phone numbers of all your employees into your AME contact list, you have an instant noficiation system that will reach your employees whereever they happen to be, indoors or out. Your employees can decide whether they prefer to receive text messages or phone calls. Then, when severe weather is approaching your area, you can send an announcement to everyone at once by logging on to our Web site. This gives them the opportunity and the time they need to find a stopping point, put tools and equipment away, and seek shelter is necessary. If you had to call each individual or team out on the road, you might not warn them in time.

There's a definite advantage to having every employee on the AME system. Supervisors or team leaders won't always get the message, but if you distribute it to all employees, you're mostly likely to deliver the important warning to someone in every group. Even if you have another means of communication to keep in touch with your offsite employees, there's no guarantee that your first plan will work or be completely effective. AME provides another reliable way for you to keep your employees up-to-date on changing weather conditions and allow them to protect themselves from severe weather.
