FairWatch
A heat-safety command center for outdoor event organizers that monitors live weather, crowd density, and medical calls — automatically triggering cooling stations, water distribution, and shade adjustments.
State-fair operators, outdoor festival organizers, and theme-park operations teams
- Real-time WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) dashboard with traffic-light thresholds tied to your operations plan
- Auto-triggered actions: deploy misting tents, halt rides, push SMS to attendees, alert on-site medics
- Heat-stress medical-call log that flags clusters by zone so you can evacuate hotspots
- Post-event report quantifying heat impact for insurance and regulators
DC just shattered its heat record and crowds were locked out of the Great American State Fair — exactly the kind of liability event operators are desperate to prevent.
Heat injuries at outdoor events are a documented liability concern, but specific demand for an integrated heat-safety command center is unverified — no live results for the cited DC/Great American State Fair incident.Heat Injuries at Events: Can You Sue for Lack of Shade or Water? ↗
