Protect Students with Wet Bulb Globe Temperature

States around the country are increasingly turning towards towards wet bulb globe temperature for their heat stress management policies because it better measures the impact heat has on a body than the heat index or temperature alone.

Heat-related illnesses and deaths continue to plague student athletes because of a lack of accurate WBGT readings, faulty handheld equipment, manual alerts, and human error. The lack of comprehensive monitoring, forecasting, and alerting systems leave vulnerabilities in heat policies.

Real-time WBGT readings, hyperlocal forecasts, and automated mass alerts from an on-site weather station ensure everyone is on the same page and following the best practices towards acclimatizing and protecting student athletes in dangerous environmental conditions.

With well-defined protocol and mass alerts, schools, districts, counties, and states are best equipped to plan and adjust athletic activities and safeguard their greatest assets: The students.
