Business Continuity & Weather Risk Scoring
Weather risk scoring (1-10) drives decisions for logistics, insurance, events. High-risk windows get reroute or delay recommendations.
WeatherEdge assigns weather risk scores (1-10) to locations, routes, and time windows. Score 1-3 means low risk (proceed normally). Score 4-6 means moderate (monitor, prepare contingency). Score 7-10 means high risk (delay, reroute, or shelter).
Logistics companies use route-level scoring. A shipment from Atlanta to Chicago shows risk for each segment hour by hour. If winter storm makes I-65 high-risk from 2-8 PM, the system suggests earlier departure or alternate routing.
Insurance teams use location scores for portfolio analysis. Properties scoring 7+ more than 20 days per year carry higher weather risk exposure, informing premium calculations.
Event planning integrates risk into go/no-go decisions. An outdoor event with risk score hitting 7+ within 24 hours gets a rain plan or postponement recommendation.
