From forecast issuance to warning dissemination, emergency managers and business continuity specialists ingest all forms of weather data to aid them in the execution of their duties. While these private- and public-sector professionals have varying responsibilities, from mitigating interruptions in the global supply chain to responding to isolated incidents in small geographies, they’re united in a common use of forecast probabilities, uncertainties, and scenarios. This panel discussion will look into the emerging trend of “big data” use by emergency managers, both public and private, and how decision-makers use meteorological probabilities to inform data-driven decisions.
