Executive summary

Frequent dust storms challenge Semnan's hospitals and industrial sites. The nowcast service blends mesoscale forecasts with sensor feeds so facility teams can reconfigure HVAC assets before particle loads spike.

Challenges addressed

  • Unexpected ingress of dust into controlled environments.
  • Filter maintenance costs when events are not anticipated.
  • Timely communication to staff and the public.

Delivery approach

  • Combine WRF outputs with local air-quality sensors.
  • Project particle concentrations 6–24 hours ahead.
  • Issue actionable alerts and HVAC checklists.

Delivered outcomes

  • Dashboards with maps and timeline visualisations.
  • SMS and email notifications graded by severity.
  • After-action reports benchmarking ventilation response.
