National Hurricane Preparedness Week 2024
May 5th through May 11th
Be ready for hurricane season. Take action TODAY to be better prepared for when the worst happens. Understand your risk from hurricanes, and begin pre-season preparations now. Make sure you have multiple ways of receiving forecasts and alerts, and know what to do before, during, and after a storm.
The goal of NOAA's Hurricane Preparedness Web site is to inform the public about the hurricane hazards and provide knowledge which can be used to take ACTION. This information can be used to save lives at work, home, while on the road, or on the water.
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone or severe tropical storm that
forms in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and
in the eastern Pacific Ocean. A typical cyclone is accompanied by
thunderstorms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise
circulation of winds near the earth’s surface.
Every year, hurricanes put communities at risk of catastrophic damage
from storm surges, flooding, high winds, and tornadoes. During National
Hurricane Preparedness Week, we rededicate ourselves to preventing loss
of life and damage to property by raising awareness about hurricane
hazards and taking action to protect our families, our homes, and our
neighborhoods.
