How to Capture Historical Storm Data for a Specific Address

On the PSAI Weather Map, you can search for storms by address, explore storm opportunities based on precise hail or wind parameters, and launch storm campaigns on Facebook. But what if you want to capture detailed storm data not for a large area, but instead for a specific home address?

This is easy to do as well, and it can be done through either the Com Portal or the Weather Dashboard. Follow the guidelines below.

Com Portal: Weather Reports

1. Search for a Contact or Engagement

Go to the Com Portal and either click on a current lead engagement, or use the pencil icon to search for a contact to start a new message or open a previous interaction.

If the lead does not exist, you can add information for the contact by clicking the Add New Contact button.

Why might a lead already be in the Com Portal? If they previously interacted with any of your PSAI site conversion tools—like a quote form, SMS number, or chat—then their information will be saved in an engagement thread.

3. Generate the Weather Report

Once you have located the existing contact, added the lead as a new contact, or clicked into an existing Com Portal interaction, generating a storm report for their specific home address is as simple as clicking the 'storm cloud' button.

You can also generate a storm report through an existing Com Portal engagement by clicking the message button at the top of the contact, then clicking the storm cloud button in the pop-up that displays.


In any case, clicking the storm cloud icon will allow you to generate the storm report instantly. After clicking the storm cloud, simply type in or confirm the address and click "Generate Report." You will then be prompted to select a storm date to highlight as the major storm in the report. 

Select the desired storm date, and click Next. This will automatically generate the weather report, giving you the option to either download the report or add it to a message in the Com Portal.  


Weather Dashboard: Weather Reports

To pull a weather report for a specific address from the Weather dashboard, click the Pull Report button. This will open a pop-up where you can enter the desired address. 

After entering the address, click Generate Report. From there, you will be taken to the Weather map, where you will choose the storm event you'd like to highlight in the report.

Choose the storm, then click Next. This will automatically generate the Weather report and provide the options of Share via Text, Share via Email, or Download.
