Monitoring system for wind

Risk due to extreme weather events

Wind

Description

Wind can be classified according to its speed, from calm, with speed of 0 -1 km/h, to hurricane force with speed greater than 118 km/h, with everything in between: breeze, strong wind, gale and storm, among others. As the wind force increases, the damage it can cause also increases, as well as the risk for the population; for this reason it is fundamental to monitor it in order to have the situation under control. Monitoring and alert solutions designed by CAE have the toughness and sensitivity required to properly operate in a range between 0 and 220km/h, therefore they are particularly reliable and useful also in mitigating the possible risks due to the wind.
