Galway County Council, IE coordinates emergency weather responses by building SWEMS platform

Galway County Council, IE SWEMS Coordinate Responses

The county used in-house resources in the development of the Severe Weather Event Management System (SWEMS). Weather data, incident reports, and other inputs across council departments are simultaneously processed by the platform. Staff and resident reports during weather events trigger localized messaging, social media posts, and rapid mobilization of council resources. SWEMS replaced a siloed approach to emergency management that slowed response times and public alerts.
