The FipsServer websites are created, maintained and hosted by Thunder Eagle for
easy deployment. The strength of remote hosting was proven during and after Hurricane Sandy
where the local sensors lost power and comminucations, but the site was up with
other critical sources of weather forecasts and alerts, which proved critical to
response and recovery operations.

Supporting NWS NWR Operations

The FipsServer system helps the NWS
provide reliable weather alerts to the entire community.
Many forecast offices cannot monitor their remote NOAA Weather Radio
transmissions. FipsServer lets the NWS listen to their real time streaming audio,
as well as receive automatic email confirmation EAS/SAME alerts.
Through this system, NWR technical issues are often detected and corrected before
they become major problems. Thunder Eagle is proud to support critical
NWS operations.
