Learn how utilities can enhance storm response strategies with outage data.

Hurricane Ian’s unpredictable path created significant challenges for utilities and emergency services as they prepared for its impact. The storm initially showed erratic behavior, with its predicted track fluctuating by hundreds of miles. Ultimately, it made landfall in southern Florida on September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing fierce winds and torrential rain that left millions without power.

After briefly moving offshore in northeastern Florida and downgrading to a tropical storm, Hurricane Ian regained strength, striking South Carolina before finally dissipating in North Carolina on October 1. This severe weather event underscored the necessity for utilities to leverage outage insights to enhance their storm preparedness strategies.

By utilizing advanced data analytics and predictive models, utilities can optimize their response efforts, ensuring swift restoration of services and minimizing disruptions for affected communities. Preparing for unpredictable weather patterns is critical, especially as climate change intensifies the frequency and severity of storms.
