Abstract: Local weather information such as a nationwide emergency network for first responders can enable first responders to communicate nationally with a single network, linking to suppliers, utilities, and weather information. The system disclosed herein can provide data to first responders and data from first responders can provide insights into local conditions that can be utilized by edge data centers. Adding first responder data can improve the processing speed of moving of edge-based applications out of threatened data centers. Because this movement can also have an impact on low latency applications, identifying the closest edge sites without an impact can keep the applications operating.
