“AccuWeather’s predictive insights have been essential to how we manage risk and maintain continuity across our supply chain, operations, and physical retail. Their reports and graphics make it easy to communicate across the organization and align quickly when weather threatens business as usual.”​

Annie Keyes, GSOC Lead, Wayfair

“With AccuWeather, reactive became proactive, and we’re just beginning to leverage this data…AccuWeather provides us with valuable opportunities when it comes to our point-in-time immediate consumable product offering, as well as being able to make actionable, cost-saving, or even revenue-generating decisions based on our grasp of the correlation between retail and weather.”

Kenneth Butler, Data Engineer, QuikTrip

“We have always been able to rely on the forecast models to make business decisions, and they have always been spot on.”

Ron Derrick, Emergency Manager, Whataburger Command Center

“It has made all of our projects safer with the daily notifications we receive. Getting early expired notifications when the weather improves faster than anticipated. Every minute adds up when you have up to 250 workers on-site.”

Dave Maher, Capform Corporate Safety Director

“It was very comforting…to depend on having a meteorologist guiding us and letting us know what we needed to do in this event, so that was critical.”

Susan Hendrix, Director EHSQ, Fujifilm Holdings America Corporation

“I wanted to give a BIG shout-out and THANK YOU to AccuWeather for helping us out yesterday. We received all your weather warnings…We had enough lead time to safely evacuate 60K off the fields before the massive storm rolled in! To our knowledge, we had ZERO injuries and ZERO fatalities! Amazing service!”

Charlie Chicko, Owner, Colorado Event Traffic

“The biggest impact we have seen is the reduction in the sheltering in several of our facilities in high tornado areas…This has improved our productivity and reduced our downtime, not to mention the associates like it that they are not in shelters for extended periods of time when not necessary. “

Jeff Romine, CSP, CPEA, CSMP, Sr. Corporate Environmental, Health & Safety Manager, Compliance, Shaw Industries Group, Inc

“The warning Oxford received from AccuWeather was the only notice received before the tornado hit the building.”

Oxford Facility Manager, CAT Plant

“AccuWeather helps us prepare earlier—sometimes 24 hours ahead of official advisories.”

Matthew Merritt, Novant Health

“Partnering with AccuWeather has been a complete game-changing upgrade to our weather preparedness and peace of mind in protecting patients and staff.”

Blake Robertson, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital

“Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your interview on Disaster Zone this week. I certainly echo what you shared with clients about the value of the meteorology 911 option to call in and speak with Mets. It is certainly a huge help for us!”

Jamie Beadle, CCG, Demand Coordinator, State Farm Central Coordination Group

“It was amazing how accurate the times given in the AccuWeather warning matched the storm.”

Dan McIntyre, Chrysler Security, Jacksonville, FL
