What do schools, energy companies, construction crews, and truck companies have in common?
All can be adversely affected by slight weather changes, let alone severe weather.
In fact, the list of people and commercial groups that can suffer due to weather changes is much longer. Almost all sectors are subject in some way or another to the weather. Temperature changes can affect how energy companies charge for use; heavy rain or snow can halt construction or close schools, and a sunny day accompanied by strong winds can endanger or force a stoppage for long-haul truck drivers. While watching the local news can provide a 7-day forecast, often times they do not convey important details for every sector and are geared towards a residential audience rather than a corporate audience.

Decision Support Services
Our onsite or remote Decision Support Services Team can provide key information to your staff about weather giving them the needed intelligence to make decisions regarding the safety of your clients. Examples of this we have done in the past would be providing information about needing to evacuate a sports arena due to thunderstorms or to stock blankets at a bicycle race to combat hypothermia due to sudden rain. When it comes down to it, a lawsuit for negligence due to not acting during severe weather can (and has) cost millions of dollars to event planners, not to mention the personal aspect of the hazard of injury or loss of life. A small investment and preplanning can prevent this and ensure the safety of your guests, staff, or clients.
