Case Study: Arkansas Children's Hospital improves severe-weather preparedness with StormGeo

Weather Intelligence Helps Hospital

Arkansas Children's Hospital, a pediatric healthcare system dedicated to caring for children in Arkansas, faced significant challenges in preparing for severe weather events like tornadoes, winter storms, and hurricanes. Their emergency management team lacked meteorological expertise, leading to stress and inefficiency as they manually monitored disparate weather sources. To solve this, they partnered with the vendor StormGeo for its weather intelligence and decision guidance solution.

The solution implemented by StormGeo provided accurate forecasts, monitoring, and alerts specific to each hospital location, but its greatest value was 24/7 access to meteorologists. This enabled Arkansas Children's to completely rewrite their adverse weather plan with clear, established criteria triggered by StormGeo notifications. The results included a unified response strategy, reduced stress for decision-makers, and enhanced safety for patients, families, and employees across their facilities.
