How to comply with attribution requirements

Alert and radar data are provided by HERE subject to conditions imposed by localities. These conditions lead to two specific requirements for the use of the data provided by the HERE service. Failure to meet these two conditions may lead to HERE disabling access to its services until the requirements are met.

  1. Complete alert text: When any application displays the text of an alert to a user, the entire delivered text must be visible to that user. If there is too much text to fit in the designated area in a user interface, a scrolling or windowing approach is acceptable. The reason for this requirement is that end-users must know which authority has issued each alert. That information is provided at the end of each alert’s text.
  2. Radar data attribution: Either in the UI, or in printed documentation that accompanies the system, the following text must appear. In a UI, it is acceptable that this text may be on a separate panel in a menu system, although it may also appear on the same screen with the radar image, if that is a preferred design.

”This radar service is partly based on data and products of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts. Radar display may include data from: Aemet, BOM, DMI, DWD, EC, FMI, InMet, JMA, KMI, KNMI, Met Eireann, MeteoSchweiz, MF, Met Office, MET Norway, NWS, Protezione Civile, SMHI, SMN, ZAMG”
