Two already developed web resources for Southeast Texas are STAN and R.A.I.N. A brief summary of these two resources follows.
SE TEXAS REGIONAL ALERTING AND INFORMATION NETWORK (R.A.I.N.)
The Southeast Texas Regional Alerting and Information Network (R.A.I.N.) is a public service designed to provide information to the SE Texas region during threatening weather conditions. The project was developed out of a Five-County regional coalition headed by County Judges from Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton, and Orange Counties after hurricane Harvey in 2017. The RAIN website was designed by OneRain®, Incorporated. The RAIN system displays rainfall, streamflow, river (stream) level, and reservoir levels in major streams, bayous, and reservoirs compiled from many data sources which include the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Weather Service (NWS) and low cost sensors that are part of a network of participants and asset managed by the Flood Coordination Study at Lamar University.
SOUTHEAST TEXAS ALERTING NETWORK (STAN)
STAN was developed and sponsored by the Local Emergency Planning Committees of Jefferson, Orange and Hardin Counties, in partnership with the Industry of Southeast Texas, the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission and local media. STAN is a messaging and notification system that gives industrial companies and emergency management officials the ability to improve emergency alert and warning systems. It also uses geographic calling zones and is able to alert specific areas that are affected by an emergency. http://www.thestan.com (STAN)
