The Weather Company Partners with Health Action Alliance for Extreme Weather Initiative
ATLANTA and LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2026 — The Weather Company, a leading weather provider, has formed a strategic partnership with the Health Action Alliance (HAA) to enhance weather intelligence for over 11,000 employers. As part of the Extreme Weather + Work initiative, The Weather Company will provide meteorology briefings, custom risk data, and operational counsel to help organizations navigate extreme weather and climate-related events.
David Leathers of HAA emphasized the need for businesses to prepare for the impacts of extreme weather, stating, “Over 82% of workers have been directly affected by extreme weather” but many organizations have yet to effectively map their workforce’s exposure.
The collaboration arrives amid challenges posed by a strong El Niño, which is expected to alter weather patterns across North America this winter. The Weather Company aims to help businesses transition from reactive to proactive strategies in addressing workforce safety and operational continuity.
Key Insights include:
- Extended Warmth & Delayed Winter: A prolonged warm period will persist across the U.S., affecting industries reliant on winter demand and staffing plans.
- Regional Risks: The Pacific Northwest may face worsening droughts and increased wildfire risks, while California anticipates heavy rainfall and flooding.
- Supply Chain Disruptions: Altered weather patterns will impact consumer demands regionally, necessitating agile resource allocation across industries.
Businesses will benefit from expert briefings and tools to incorporate weather data into continuity strategies. For further information, visit healthactionalliance.org.
