Protect your residents, secure your events
Storm alerts at the scale of your municipality, not your region. The information you need to maintain, postpone or take shelter.
Resident safety: a responsibility that falls on the mayor
Within the boundaries of their municipality, the mayor is the primary authority responsible for public safety. Violent storms, lightning, hail, gusts, intense rainfall: these phenomena threaten residents, the events organized by the town, municipal assets and the technical-services staff. Anticipating means protecting people. It also means meeting a legal obligation.
French General Local Authorities Code, article L2212-2 (5°): municipal policing tasks the mayor with preventing and putting an end to accidents and natural disasters as well as pollution of any kind, including floods and other natural events. Article L2212-4 specifies that, in the event of grave or imminent danger, the mayor prescribes the safety measures required by the circumstances.
Where a municipality needs precise information
A department-wide warning doesn't say whether the storm will hit the town centre, the municipal stadium or the hamlet at the far end of the territory. To decide, you need information at the scale of the municipality, not the department.
Town events
Music festival, market, Bastille Day fireworks, Christmas market, car boot sale: decide to maintain, postpone or cancel with sufficient lead time.
Technical services and roads
Pre-alert staff, secure municipal works, anticipate interventions on trees, roads and networks before the peak.
Schools and after-school care
School trips, outdoor activities, day camps: get children to shelter before the phenomenon arrives.
What Storm Predict changes for a municipality
Monitoring at the scale of your municipality
You set up the sensitive points of your territory as independent monitoring spots: town centre, event areas, schools, sports facilities, municipal campsite. An alert triggers only when a phenomenon genuinely threatens one of these points, with accuracy under 10 km.
Risk to open-air gatherings, staff on intervention and equipment. Decision to evacuate or take shelter.
Damage to municipal vehicles, roofs, market stalls and temporary structures.
Trees falling on roads, safety of marquees, gazebos and event stages.
Four hours of lead time to decide without rushing
With predictive trajectories up to 4 hours, you have time to postpone an event, pre-position the technical services, activate the municipal crisis unit and inform the population through your usual channels (message boards, social media, the town's app).
Pushing the fireworks back by an hour isn't cancelling the celebration. It is saving it, and protecting the residents who came to watch.
A first municipality already trusts us
The town of Le Cannet (Alpes-Maritimes) is the first municipality to use Storm Predict to anticipate storm episodes over its territory.
Built for public-sector constraints
Invoicing goes through Chorus Pro, in line with public-procurement obligations. Storm Predict is operated as a micro-enterprise: VAT does not apply (article 293 B of the French Tax Code), so the amount invoiced is net of tax.
Data is hosted in Switzerland (Infomaniak), a country covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, which guarantees a level of data protection equivalent to the GDPR.
Service limits
Storm Predict replaces neither Météo-France bulletins nor the municipal safeguard plan (PCS), and has no value as an official regulatory alert. A confidence index is shown on every predictive trajectory. What it brings is precise geolocated information to inform municipal decisions.
