Case Study: Tulane University achieves timely, life-saving storm guidance with AccuWeather For Business

AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Protecting People, Property and Profits When Out-of-Season Tornadoes Occur

Tulane University faced uncertainty and operational risk from extreme weather—most notably during Hurricane Nate and a series of out-of-season tornadoes—and needed reliable, timely guidance to protect students, staff and campus operations. AccuWeather For Business (via AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions and its SkyGuard service) was engaged to provide continuous forecasting and direct meteorologist support to inform sheltering and emergency decisions.

AccuWeather For Business delivered consistent forecasts, instant access to meteorologists and targeted warnings that preceded public advisories, giving clients extra lead time (examples in the case ranged from about 12 minutes up to 32 minutes of advanced notice). As a result Tulane credited AccuWeather For Business with clear, calm guidance that helped the university choose to shelter in place during Hurricane Nate and improved confidence and speed in its emergency responses, reducing risk to people and property.
