Case Study: Monmouth County Park System ensures fairground safety with Earth Networks weather intelligence

Monmouth County Park System safely evacuates 75,000 fairgoers with Earth Networks

The Monmouth County Park System, which hosts an annual outdoor fair for 75,000 visitors, faced a significant challenge in ensuring public safety during severe weather. With the event held entirely under tents and no permanent shelters, officials needed a reliable way to get advanced warning to evacuate the grounds safely. They partnered with Earth Networks for a severe weather intelligence solution.

Earth Networks provided meteorological support services and a web-based weather visualization tool. This solution gave officials access to 24/7 expert consultation and real-time data on storm cells and lightning. As a result, Monmouth County officials were able to make critical decisions, successfully evacuating the fairgrounds on two occasions due to approaching thunderstorms. Earth Networks' tools ensured all guests were cleared safely and continue to be used for other county outdoor programs.
