Storm Damage Response Guide

StumpIQ's storm prediction helps you prepare before severe weather hits.


Pre-storm preparation:

  • Review the Storm Watch page for upcoming forecasts and predicted demand spikes
  • Ensure all equipment is serviced and fueled
  • Pre-position crews in areas most likely to be affected
  • Stock up on supplies (chain oil, fuel, PPE, tarps)
  • Brief crews on emergency response protocols and priority triage
  • Prepare pre-printed emergency work authorizations

    • During storm response:

  • Triage calls by severity: downed trees on structures first, then road blockages, then general cleanup
  • Emergency work commands premium rates ($150-$300/hr vs. $60-$120/hr standard)
  • Document everything with photos for insurance claims
  • Never work near downed power lines — call the utility company first

    • Demand prediction:

    StumpIQ's AI monitors weather patterns and predicts demand spikes up to 7 days out. A +340% prediction means you should expect 3-4x your normal call volume. Pre-stage accordingly.
