PredictHQ's Polygons: Accurately Identifying Geographic Areas Impacted by Events

Why Use Polygons

PredictHQ's Polygons feature allows users to accurately identify the geographic area impacted by events that do not happen at a specific location. While point event locations are represented by latitude and longitude coordinates, events such as hurricanes, tornados, and severe weather affect broader areas like regions or entire countries. With Polygons, users can visualize the full area impacted by an event as a shape, providing a more precise understanding of the event's impact.

Control Center

The Control Center platform by PredictHQ enables users to easily search for and view areas impacted by events on a map. By searching for events impacting a radius, all polygons that overlap that area are returned, allowing users to visualize all impacted areas near their locations. This functionality aids in better understanding which locations will experience upcoming demand impacts.

API Access

Users can access Polygons through PredictHQ's API, where polygons are returned in the 'geo' field using a GeoJSON format. The API supports three types of geometry: point, polygon, and multipolygon, offering flexibility in searching for events. Users can search for events within a radius or based on place parameters, ensuring efficient access to polygon events and their corresponding impact areas.

Event Categories Impacted

Currently, PredictHQ offers Polygons for severe weather and school holiday categories. Users can track events like hurricanes, air quality warnings, floods, and school holidays accurately due to the wide-ranging impact of these events on geographic areas. By leveraging Polygons, businesses can enhance forecasting and planning efforts, unlocking revenue and efficiency opportunities.
