Statistics show that forecasting methods and sources of weather information have improved in many ways. Business interruptions caused by weather can be effectively managed with the right strategic approach. We've invited meteorologist David Gilhousen to help us learn how.

David Gilhousen worked as a marine meteorologist for the National Weather Service for over 30 years training forecasters, developing web sites, testing instruments, and writing scientific papers. When he retired a decade ago, friends asked him for advice on evacuating during hurricane threats, so returned to the weather business. He now publishes daily forecasts on his website and posts You Tube videos. He'll join us to present information that inspires the intelligent use of weather forecasts, and take questions from attendees.

This is hosted by StayLocal together with LCIA, the member services arm of LCI Worker’s Comp, a group self-insurance fund operating in Louisiana since 1989. To watch the webinar recording, please follow this link to StayLocal’s You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@StayLocalNOLA .
