First of all, I hope I have posted this in the right area. I work in Business Continuity and I have only been working in this area for a few months. Of course, many business continuity issues are caused as a result of weather. We have signed up to the appropriate alerts, eg Met Office, Environment Agency etc, as well as alerts for our city (run by the council) for things such as disruption due major road closures, fires etc. The query is what is the best way to disseminate these warning down to staff throughout the organisation. We could send a text to everyone, or an email, or place on the intranet. Staff will be working in the office, or be off site and furthermore, the notification might need to be sent out of hours (eg evenings and weekends). There are lots of things to consider and I wondered if anyone else was working in this area and whether you've gone through the same process.

I've just written a blog hopefully explaining more about how the Met Office create their weather warnings and how the 3 levels now include likelihood of severe weather and the possible impacts. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=6466;sess= Did you know this about the impacts? Is this the right way to go for the public? With this explanation do you feel the warnings are now more helpful to you? The Matrix is now a key part of the warning, but is there anyway to show high impact, lower likelihood or medium likelihood of low impact event from just the 3 colours?
