“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”
Weather forecasts have never been more sophisticated, yet the information is often too raw to translate into action. Maps, models, and projections provide situational awareness for decision-makers but they don't answer the question "what should we do"? How do we connect all of this data to the real world?
MeteoAct solves that "last-mile" problem for decision-makers preparing for extreme weather by handling the math and science required to model your specific decisions, giving you data-driven guidance for your specific problems.
When a hurricane threatens to make landfall in the next few days and impact your business, how do you respond? How does your response change as the forecast changes? The weather forecast tells you the most likely outcome, but what about the uncertainty?
MeteoAct's algorithms are built for uncertainty: as a storm evolves and the weather forecast evolves with it, we simulate the range of possible outcomes and help you intelligently play the percentages with your storm response playbook.
optimize pre-event loss control and post-event claims response as weather forecasts shift
balance the cost and benefit of storm mitigation when the cost of acting is significant (but the cost of not acting can be so much worse)
steer your complex operations through high-stakes decisions when severe weather threatens
I’m a PhD meteorologist with more than a decade of experience in the insurance industry. My academic research focused on decision-making under weather uncertainty: specifically, how probabilistic forecasts tied to decision algorithms can improve outcomes in high-stakes, high-dimensional problems.
In many industries, there is a long list of decisions to be made in the hours before a storm hits: when to shut down operations, how to position resources, and how to protect people and property. The stakes and complexity of the situation call for a cost-benefit analysis but there is never enough time (and rarely enough data) for systematic decision-making.
I founded MeteoAct to bridge the gap between meteorology and real-world action. When there are million-dollar decisions to make and only a few hours to make them, you need the best available information, tailored to your precise decision.
If you have expensive decisions to make based on weather forecasts, I want to hear from you. MeteoAct's products and custom-built solutions can help solve your problems.
