Calgary Wind Warning App

The Calgary Wind Warning App is a mobile version of the City of Calgary's Advanced Weather Forecasting System (AWFS) that provides hourly, site-specific wind gust forecasts for construction sites in the City of Calgary.

NOTE: This app no longer supports the neighbourhood forecast and should only be used for registered buildings in the system.

The system uses multiple high resolution weather forecasts to provide advanced warning of up to 48 hours of wind gusts or adverse weather conditions that may cause wind gusts. The system is intended to be used in conjunction with other site safety procedures to prevent:
- unsecured materials being blown from structures and falling to the ground;
- loose materials being blown into and damaging nearby buildings; and,
- structural damage caused by wind loads on tarps and other coverings / fabrics.

Features:

- Access to live data feeds from Calgary Airport and select anemometers on tower cranes;
- 7-day weather forecast for Calgary
- List of construction items that are at risk of becoming windborne; and,
- Registered users can access site specific forecasts and alerts for high rise construction and building maintenance.
