The 48 CM Blizzard

Case Study: The 40cm Blizzard & The Regional Hub

The Scenario: A major winter storm is forecasted to drop 40cm of snow over 12 hours. The Town, acting as a regional service hub, has hundreds of visitors and transient workers parked on residential streets.

The Challenge: Visitors don't follow the local radio or the Town's specific "Snow Clearing" bylaws. Plows are blocked by out-of-province vehicles, delaying emergency route clearing.

The Intel-Alert Solution:

• SMS Broadcast: The Town triggers a "Parking Ban" alert. Because Intel-Alert works via SMS (no app download required), visitors who signed up at the local hotel or community center receive the alert instantly.
• Outcome: 95% of vehicles are moved before the plows hit the road. The Town saves thousands in towing fees and ensures that emergency vehicles have clear access to the regional hospital during the height of the storm.
