How does ARGOS work?#
ARGOS triggers a warning as soon as it anticipates (or observes) a potential emergency. Real-time data updates of all kinds are important for this: sensors in the field, official warnings or automated weather forecasts.
When there are no active warnings, ARGOS allows for continuous monitoring which can be useful to familiarise with the tool, to visualise vulnerability information or to monitor pre-emergency situations.
The following subsections explain in detail how to use the ARGOS platform.
