Construction Disruption

As the climate continues to change, construction needs to follow suit.Crystal Egger, President of Monarch Weather Consulting, and Kathryn Prociv, Meteorologist for NBC News & Monarch Weather Consulting, help businesses prepare for and react to weather events. Both are career meteorologists, Crystal at The Weather Channel and NBC LA, and Kathryn at The Weather Channel and NBC New York. Now, they combine their skills with a dedicated team of Certified Consulting Meteorologists and data scientists to provide crucial weather information for agriculture, businesses, and climate change.For questions, email [email protected] or [email protected].
