ICYMI: Weather Insights for Business Planning

Statistics show that forecasting methods and sources of weather information have improved in many ways. Business interruptions caused by weather can be effectively managed with the right strategic approach. Meteorologist David Gilhousen provided tips to learn how at our webinar in April, “Weather Cause and Effect: Insights For Smarter Business Planning”.

Gilhousen worked as a marine meteorologist for the National Weather Service for over 30 years training forecasters, developing web sites, testing instruments, and writing scientific papers. He now publishes daily forecasts on his website and posts You Tube videos. He joined us to present information that inspires the intelligent use of weather forecasts, and took questions from attendees.

This event was hosted by StayLocal together with LCIA, the member services arm of LCI Worker’s Comp, a group self-insurance fund operating in Louisiana since 1989. To watch the webinar recording, please visit StayLocal’s YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@StayLocalNOLA.
