How it works
Timely alerts
WPLO continuously monitors the events its sources publish and sends you each alert with its risk level. The colour tells you how serious it is before you read a single word.
Yellow alert
Magnitude 7.7 earthquake on the Azuero Peninsula (Panama)
About 200 km from the Port of Balboa
Yellow alert
Magnitude 6.3 earthquake in Vanuatu
About 110 km from the Port of Luganville
Examples based on real events.
Three levels
Green
Situation under control
The event has been identified and is under observation, with no impact on your places. No action is required.
Yellow
Risk to consider
An event near one of your places that could affect you, even seriously, or one about which little is known yet. Review your plan and follow how it develops: if it gets worse, WPLO will notify you of it as red.
Red
Critical disruption
An event under way, or one highly likely to directly affect one of your places. Confirm the situation with the relevant authority.
The level combines the severity assigned by the source, the distance from the event to your places and what you tell us about them, such as which are your primary places.
From alert to decision
Continuous monitoring.
Constant observation of the events that matter for trade and supply chains.
Only what concerns you.
You receive alerts for events within the radius of your places, not every alert in the world.
Teams that act in time.
The people in charge receive the alert at the right moment and can act before the event escalates.
What an alert looks like
Today WPLO monitors natural hazards: earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, volcanoes, wildfires and droughts. The sources it uses are listed under Data sources and licences in the app, and the list grows with the service. Each alert tells you what happened, near which of your places and why you received it.
