The Alteryx Professional Services team has created an end-to-end process to assist in assessing facilities at risk of impact from incoming hurricanes:
- First, an Alteryx macro is used to go to the National Hurricane Center’s website and download the most recent forecast.
- Then, a series of processing steps are applied to pull key information from the forecast – in this case, the expected latitude and longitude of the storm over time – and then calculate uncertainty cones.
- Lastly, maps are created that overlay the predicted storm track and uncertainty cone with a list of your facilities. A customized report identifies facilities in the potential storm path.
All forecasts are from the National Hurricane Center; Always also reference guidelines and recommendations made by your local authorities when making emergency preparedness decisions.
