"Because of StormGeo, we know the timelines and potential intensity of the storm. We were able to stage assets and deploy within a couple hours after Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle. We used to be all reactionary and could take a day or two to begin recovery. StormGeo has been a big game changer for us."

"Being able to pick up the phone and talk to a meteorologist 24/7, and put that person on a conference call with our executives and storm response teams, means everything. We really count on it as a company."
