STORM RESPONSE Storm Impact - Adjusting Storm Tracks and Predictions with HIP and WIP (Invite Only)

No two storm forecasts are certain, and the difference between one modeled track or intensity and another can mean a completely different resourcing plan. Utilities need more than a single static prediction — they need the ability to ask "what if" and see how the answer changes.This session explores the value of Itron's Hurricane Impact Prediction (HIP) and Winter Impact Prediction (WIP) capabilities within Storm Impact. Both models forecast customer outages, work orders, and asset damage in advance of a storm — but their real power comes from scenario flexibility. Clients can adjust projected storm tracks and intensities within the tool itself, instantly seeing how those changes shift predicted impacts to their specific customers and assets. Rather than planning against one forecast, teams can stress-test multiple plausible scenarios and build a mobilization plan that holds up across the range of ways a storm could actually develop.Attendees will see how this scenario-based approach to hurricane and winter storm prediction turns forecasting uncertainty into an advantage — helping utilities right-size crews, optimize staging locations, and prepare stakeholders with a clearer range of possible outcomes before the storm ever makes landfall.
