"The WeatherBug Club Safety solutions integrate highly relevant, live, local weather information and alerts with unprecedented support both online and through their team of meteorologists to provide the best total picture of weather-related risks," said CMAA CEO James B. Singerling, CCM, CEC. "We are proud to support the WeatherBug solutions and are confident they can help provide a highly valuable service to our more than 3,000 member clubs nationwide."

Available immediately, WeatherBug Club Safety provides:

- Increased Member Safety: localized severe weather alerts-including lightning, high wind, heat index, and heavy precipitation-available exclusively from WeatherBug's National Network of Tracking Stations and cameras and the National Weather Service;

- Enhanced Member Experience: live, local weather conditions, radar and forecasts on club Web sites or in high-traffic areas as a resource for members and the community;

- Improved Event Management: 24x7 support from a team of trained meteorologists for customized analysis and interpretation of severe weather forecasts for special event planning and operational support; and

- Better Irrigation and Turf Management: customized precipitation and forecast information for improved irrigation and turf management including timely weather information when applying chemicals, establishing cart rules or other operational decisions to protect assets.

Additionally, WeatherBug Club Safety includes a live GPS-enabled mobile weather alerting service, WeatherBug Protect, which turns employee phones into life-saving devices so that no matter where they're located, they can receive critical weather alerts. WeatherBug Protect is the first location-based mobile solution that proactively sends customized alerts such as lightning, high wind and heat index, from the WeatherBug Network and the National Weather Service.

Congressional Country Club, located in Bethesda, Maryland, is the first to install the service from WeatherBug. "We've been using WeatherBug to make weather related decisions for years. We are excited to now integrate the new WeatherBug Club Safety solutions to improve club operations and member services," said Michael G. Leemhuis, CEO and general manager of Congressional Country Club.

"Announced today for the golf industry, WeatherBug Club Safety improves risk management by providing up-to-the-second, accurate weather information so critical decisions can be made in time to respond to developing weather conditions before they have an impact on daily operations," said John Doherty, vice president of sales and marketing for WeatherBug. "These solutions are also great news for any outdoor recreation and sports business that wants to manage weather-related delays, save time and money and protect fans, employees and patrons."
