Case Study: City of Marco Island, Florida achieves early, life‑saving Hurricane Irma warnings and improved preparedness with AccuWeather For Business

AccuWeather First to Warn of Hurricane Irma’s Impact

City of Marco Island Florida faced a direct hit from Hurricane Irma and needed reliable, advance warnings and precise track forecasts to protect residents and maintain operations. AccuWeather For Business (via AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions) was engaged to provide expert meteorology, forecasting and operational guidance during the event.

AccuWeather For Business delivered early, detailed track forecasts and live meteorologist coverage, issuing warnings and impact guidance nearly two weeks before U.S. landfall and throughout the storm. That extended lead time (the Sept 8–12 risk window) and continual support helped local managers plan staff and travel, kept service on in most affected areas, and—according to client testimonials—increased public attention and preparedness, contributing to better-informed responses.
