Part of the Solution | Tim Deegan

On August 30th we reached out to chief meteorologist Tim Deegan via email. We explained who we were, that we would like a few minutes of his time and asked for a response. Twenty-two minutes later, Tim had replied.

Over the course of the next few days’ emails were exchanged, questions were asked, questions were answered, systems were created and what has turned into one of our most beneficial relationships was formed.

Today, Tim Deegan is providing itsChance with a very unique form of Consulting. He sends daily weather reports by 9:00am via email. He helped in establishing a response threshold for our ICFRT. And when threatening weather conditions exist, he helps in determining if our itsChance First Response Team should deploy.

An Example\\ Hurricane Earl

The storm posed a threat to the Eastern United States at the beginning of September. Published weather reports stated the storm would come close enough to the Outer Banks that category three damage would occur, normally a situation that would cause our ICFRT to respond.

But, Tim provided us with up to date weather information regarding the storms digression, movement and over all conditions. With our team on stand by, he helped in making the ultimate decision not to deploy. In the hours to follow, his predictions became facts and we wouldn’t have been of use to local authorities or citizens in the Outer Banks area. A series of events that ended up saving our organization roughly $2,000 and countless hours of response time!

Needless to say, we are excited to announce his willingness to consult our organization. Tim Deegan has been nothing but professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with to date. He even paid for our founders’ lunch when the two sat down to discuss changing the world… So make that above mentioned total $2,013!

Expect to hear more about our relationship with Tim as he continues to help, what it’ll take to work with him in 2011 and the chances YOU have to make it possible!
