Accelerated Analytics always has our eye on the ball – through rain, snow, and especially major regional storm events.

Seasonal weather is one thing, but when you run against storm events that cover the map, you’re bound to see major disruption to civilian and business life. From road closures to power and internet outages before, during, and even after the storm has passed. As brand management teams and supply chain specialists alike seek answers as to why their numbers have dipped throughout the region, the answer is often right there in the news. But where can you get the raw data? Don’t worry… our team is on it.

The Severe Weather Impact Report (or “SWIR”) is our periodical report that dives into major weather events like Hurricane Ian (2022). This report compiles raw data from multiple sources that begins to outline how and where the storm has impacted your customers.

In this, our latest report, we dive into Hurricane Ian. Even as we still work to gain insight on the impact that this multi-state event has had on our country, civilian psyche, and yes… retail norms, we can nevertheless already see that we’ve got a long road ahead of us before numbers in affected regions are back up to speed.

After all, the choice between purchasing at Lowes or The Home Depot, Ace or Tractor Supply Co. may (for a short while) be less about familiarity or even brand loyalty… and more about access due to downed trees, power lines, or even bridges. How does this affect your brand or the supply chain as a whole? The SWIR might help your team better understand.
