Fire Prevention: As lightning can cause petroleum-related fires, identification of convective storms helps prevent these disasters
- Of
Off-Sh Shore St Staff and Operations: Notification services help keep workers and operations safer by providing alerts to off-shore for severe, highly convective storms approaching their area of operation

Wide-area total lightning detection at high efficiencies is critical for earlier identification, tracking & forecasting of dangerous weather, including:
- Severe thunderstorms
- Heavy/extreme rainfall
- High winds and squalls
- Hail storms
- Microbursts and wind shear
- Tornadoes
- Flash Floods
- Cloud-to-ground lightning
