Quotes from Valued AccuWeather Clients: 

The biggest impact we have seen is the reduction in the sheltering in several of our facilities in high tornado areas…This has improved our productivity and reduced our downtime, not to mention the associates like it that they are not in shelters for extended periods of time when not necessary.

- AccuWeather Client Senior Corporate Environmental, Health & Safety Manager

It was very comforting…to depend on having a meteorologist guiding us and letting us know what we needed to do in this event, so that was critical.
