A text when lightning is detected within 20 miles of your jobsite, another at 15, and the stop operations alert at 10 — each with the distance and direction of the closest strike, plus any National Weather Service thunderstorm forecast or watch in effect for that address. The Superintendent can make better decisions and get crews down on your schedule, not the storm's.

Each stage sends once per storm. No repeats, no chatter. Every text your Superintendent gets means something changed. The three warning texts also carry the National Weather Service forecast for your address, looked up fresh each time, so you can make the best decision on when to stand down.
Lightning is in the area, with distance and direction. Nothing stops. Your Superintendent knows it's out there.
It's closing. Get crews down off steel and roofs, decide what to do about the pour.
All outdoor operations stop — the distance in OSHA/NOAA guidance. By now your crews should already be clear.
Thirty strike-free minutes, then crews go back. Every new strike restarts the clock — the step people skip.
Not every storm announces itself. A cell that forms directly overhead can put lightning inside 10 miles with nothing detected further out — those sites get the stop operations alert first and nothing before it. The early stages are what we can see coming.
No weather station on the trailer, no app for your crews to download. If a foreman can receive a text, he's covered.
Enter the site address and the numbers that get alerts — super, foremen, safety, and the sub leads who need to hear it when you do. We geocode the site and watch the airspace around it around the clock, out to 20 miles, not just the 10-mile radius.
Lightning inside 20 miles sends an advisory; inside 15, a watch. Each names the distance and direction of the closest strike, alongside what the National Weather Service has published for that address — the hours thunderstorms are forecast, any watch or warning in effect, and the site's closing time if you've set operating hours. One text per stage, per storm. Nobody's phone buzzes for nothing.
A strike inside 10 miles sends the stop operations alert. Then, after 30 consecutive strike-free minutes — the OSHA/NOAA-recommended wait — every contact gets the all-clear, so crews go back on the same authority that sent them in, not on whoever got restless first.
Purpose-built for superintendents and safety managers who need a defensible lightning procedure — not another dashboard to babysit.
Three tiers instead of one, around your exact site coordinates — not a county-wide alert for the whole metro. The early tiers are what a super on the deck can't do himself: he can hear thunder at ten miles, not see a cell at twenty.
Each warning carries what the National Weather Service has published for that exact address — the hours thunderstorms are forecast, any watch or warning in effect, and when your site is due to close. The near view and the longer one in a single message, so nobody opens a weather app to decide whether to stop outdoor operations. We relay the Weather Service; we don't forecast anything ourselves.
A pour in progress, a load on the hook, a crew tied off on steel, a roof half dried-in — none of those stop the second a text lands. That's why the ladder starts at 20 miles instead of 10: the advisory and the watch buy back the minutes those operations actually take.
Every new strike resets the clock. The all-clear only goes out after a full 30 strike-free minutes, matching OSHA 3863 and NOAA guidance.
Each site gets a shareable status page with a live strike map, radar overlay, countdown, and the next twelve hours from the National Weather Service. Pin it in the project group chat — no login, nothing to explain.
Add every number that needs to know when outdoor operations stop — your crews and the sub foremen working alongside them. Every contact gets every stage at the same time. No phone tree, nobody waiting to be told, no version of the call that got garbled on the way down.
Plain SMS. No app to install, no accounts for the people receiving alerts, nothing to keep updated. It works on a flip phone in a dead zone of app-store coverage.
Every strike, alert, and all-clear is logged with a timestamp. Export a clean PDF report for any date range — ready for an OSHA inspector, an insurer, or a project owner asking how your lightning procedure is actually enforced.

Every plan includes full monitoring, staged SMS alerts with the National Weather Service forecast, all-clear timers, and live status pages. No contracts, no sales calls — cancel anytime.
