AccuWeather is now the official weather partner of Good360, helping the nonprofit deliver critical resources to communities before, during and after weather disasters.
00:00When disasters strike, families often wait days before critical supplies arrive.
00:05AccuWeather and Good360 say their new partnership announced during Climate Week NYC
00:10is designed to change that, putting life-saving resources in place before the storm hits.
00:16By having AccuWeather forecasts and AccuWeather warnings, they'll have people and the goods in place
00:22so that when a disaster occurs, they'll be right there to help people the best they can.
00:27Good360 has already delivered more than $18 billion in donated products to people and communities nationwide.
00:35With AccuWeather's forecasting and insights, the nonprofit can better anticipate where disasters are likely to strike and move supplies ahead of time.
00:43The partnership with AccuWeather is very valuable and critical for us in terms of ensuring that we can help build resilient communities
00:51that we're able to move quickly when a disaster strikes or when a disaster is on its way.
00:57And it allows us to pre-position product in those communities for communities that are going to have a need for them.
01:05AccuWeather will provide Good360 with forecasts, alerts, and direct access to its team of more than 100 expert meteorologists.
01:12It'll actually be consultations right when critical decisions are made so that they're going to be more efficient now
01:19in distributing the needed goods in disaster areas.
01:23We make sure that we get the product into the right hands of the right people at the right time.
01:28Good360 works with some of the nation's largest retailers to keep unused and returned products out of landfills,
01:35turning potential waste into life-saving resources.
01:37With AccuWeather's guidance, those supplies will now be directed to communities faster and with greater precision.
01:44We're fortunate to have such a great charity in this country that does so much good,
01:49and we're pleased to be their weather partner to help them be ahead of the storms
01:53and do the best job possible in distributing these charitable gifts.
01:58Leaders at AccuWeather and Good360 say this partnership is not just about emergency response.
02:03With the increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather and climate-driven disasters,
02:08the focus is on long-term resilience, helping vulnerable communities prepare, recover, and rebuild more efficiently than ever before.
