State of Delaware

State of Delaware:
DEOS provides Delaware with a comprehensive observation network that supports many of the State's ongoing missions. Through the funding provided by the State, DEOS is able to maintain its day-to-day operations and ensure the network's reliability for the State and its citizens. DEOS was critical to Delaware becoming the first state to be declared Storm Ready. A key criterion of this certification is the ability of the state to monitor its weather conditions in real-time and to have a readily available system by which to utilize this data. DEOS is the source for this information for the State of Delaware.

DEMA

Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA):
Through DEOS, the emergency management community in Delaware has access to reliable, real-time environmental conditions across Delaware in one location. DEOS also provides a real-time alerting system to emergency managers, which sends notifications when critical environmental conditions occur in our region.

DelDOT

DEOS operates and maintains a snow monitoring network for DelDOT, which provides snowfall measurements for the State's snow removal reimbursement program. DelDOT also uses the DEOS alerting system to monitor environmental conditions during inclement weather events.

DNREC

Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC):
DEOS assists DNREC with several important projects. DEOS supports the Delaware Coastal Flood Monitoring System , which serves as an early warning system for the effects of coastal storms.

Since 2015, DEOS has operated real-time water level monitoring stations on ponds behind high hazard dams across Delaware in support of the state's Dam Safety program.
