StormInfo Personal Impact Report

Personal Impact Report is a key component of StormInfo. It delivers a summary and detail report indicating the forecast wind impact for a particular customer defined location. The location(s) are identified by the customer and the reports are sent via email immediately after the National Hurricane Center issues a storm update. One personal impact location is included with your subscription however additional locations can be specified at a relatively small additional cost. We also support SMS (Short Message Support) messages so that you can send key information to your cell phone or pager.

An example of a personal impact summary report (2 locations) is shown below for Southern Company as Hurricane Opal is forecast to impact the Florida Panhandle.
