Real disasters demand real-time intelligence. In this webinar session, Adrian Meyer is joined by Zach Legarda from the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management to discuss how state emergency managers are using Dataminr First Alert to enhance situational awareness when it matters most.Legarda shares firsthand experience from a tornado outbreak in April 2024, detailing how Dataminr helped break down information silos, improve cross-agency coordination, and support faster, more confident decision-making during an active crisis. The conversation also covers how prioritizing data through community lifelines supports both immediate response and longer-term resilience planning — plus a candid discussion on alert accuracy and the verification processes emergency managers rely on.
