"While communication mainly happens over the phone or through email, it's always nice to put a face to the name!" said Office Manager Debbie Taylor. CWS President Nader Khoury gave John a walkthrough of our facility and showed how we integrate OTT sensors into our systems. Thanks for the visit, John!

Hazmat Team Utilizes Weather Station in Training Drill

The Oregon State Fire Marshal has equipped hazmat teams around the state with portable and vehicle-mount weather stations from Columbia Weather for over two decades. These weather stations integrate with PEAC hazmat software to provide first responders with critical, real-time data to assess and mitigate the effects of toxic chemical leaks.
