For any traveler, a simple rain storm is merely an inconvenience encountered on a trip. On the other hand, a hurricane or typhoon can be devastating if not deadly. With the 2009 Hurricane Season behind us and the winter storms well underway for the northern hemisphere, many travelers will continue to experience ruined vacations, cancelled itineraries, lost time and money. However, hurricanes alone do not account for the traveler’s headaches - ice storms, blizzards, floods, and widespread severe thunderstorms all contribute to a traveler’s risk when dealing with Mother Nature.
That is why corporations such as Kellogg, Honeywell, and Hyatt International have been subscribing to the Swinden Group’s severe weather alert service to assist their business operations and travelers to stay ahead of Mother Nature’s wrath. Subscribers can better manage their itineraries and to avoid travel impacting events, such as a tropical cyclone battering Taiwan or a blizzard paralyzing the East Coast of the United States.
The more advanced warning, the better
Knowing that a storm or destructive weather event will occur is critical for the business or pleasure traveler. The more advanced warning, the better. The traveler can prepare for the event either by making alternate travel arrangements or by evacuating from a region that is about to be pummeled by a hurricane. The corporate travel manager and/or the business road warrior can then make an informed decision about their business trip and make alternate travel arrangements.
“Our Severe Weather Advisories has enabled corporations to timely advise, alert and relocate their business travelers during a tropical cyclone that battered Japan, prepare and make alternate arrangements during multiple blizzards along with widespread severe thunderstorms that impacted flights for a portion of the United States”, says Matthew Swinden, President of The Swinden Group. “What started out as a product geared to corporations for business continuity and risk management, has now expanded into the travel field,” explains Swinden. “Many of our corporate clients use our Severe Weather Advisories to help keep their own travelers safe from Mother Nature’s wrath.”
