1. A first device, comprising:
one or more processors to:
receive data inputs from data sources corresponding to raw weather data environmental data, and non-weather data;
generate targeted alerts based on the data inputs and transmit the targeted alerts to a second device associated with a user; and
wherein the one or more processors are further utilized to curate and perform normalization processes on the data inputs to extract key data elements and to inform and alert a meteorologist when additional raw weather, environmental data, and non-weather data critical in the forecasting of severe weather, environmental, and non-weather events affect the targeted alerts, the data sources comprising thresholds unique to a location of each user, including a) a time in advance of an identified severe weather, environmental, and non-weather event and b) a distance proximity of the identified event to determine whether risk locations are coincident with a user location and the threshold to generate the targeted alerts aided by the meteorologist.
