📢 HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? 🌀 Beginning this August, NHC is rolling out an experimental version of its iconic cone graphic! 🌪️ This update includes inland tropical storm and hurricane watches/warnings for the continental US. This addition aims to better communicate wind risk without overwhelming the graphic. The current operational cone graphic will continue to be available, and there will be no changes with respect to how coastal watches and warnings are displayed on that graphic. 🌊 What do you think about the changes?

The best time to prepare is before #HurricaneSeason begins. ▶️ Create and share your evacuation plan with your family. ▶️ Get your disaster supply kit ready with non-perishable food, water, and medicine for at least 3 days per person. ▶️ Schedule an insurance checkup and document your possessions. ▶️ Determine family meeting places, including an out-of-town location for evacuation. ▶️ Write down emergency contacts on paper as the internet may not be accessible during or after a storm. ▶️ Strengthen Your Home. Trim trees, install storm shutters or impact glass, and seal outside wall openings. #HurricanePreparednessWeek

The Impact of Hurricanes on Vulnerable Communities: Progress and Persistent Challenges my take from a CA officer. Hurricanes devastate communities, with the poor and marginalized often suffering the most. Recent articles by Jenny Schuetz from Brookings and Dr. Samantha Montano from I-DIEM highlight this issue, revealing both progress and persistent gaps. Key Points: • Economic Disparities: Limited financial resources hinder hurricane preparation and recovery. • Housing Vulnerability: Substandard housing suffers greater damage. • Health Risks: Inadequate healthcare access worsens impacts. • Resource Gaps: Unequal disaster preparedness and response resources. Recommendations: 1. Strengthen Housing Codes: Enforce stricter building standards. 2. Improve Economic Resilience: Provide financial assistance and expand insurance access. 3. Enhance Healthcare Access: Equip and staff medical facilities in vulnerable areas. 4. Ensure Equitable Resource Distribution: Allocate disaster response resources fairly. Broader Impacts: • Economic Losses: Damage affects jobs and businesses. • Health Issues: Long-term physical and mental health impacts. • Social Tensions: Disparities exacerbate social divisions. • Emotional Strain: Losses lead to emotional and spiritual disconnection. These insights stress the need for a comprehensive approach to disaster preparedness, benefiting society as a whole. Special thanks to Jenny Schuetz and Dr. Samantha Montano for their invaluable research. Let’s work towards a more equitable disaster response for all.

𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙄𝘾𝙎 𝙐𝙋𝘿𝘼𝙏𝙀 - Tropical Storm Debby will continue to organize and strengthen over the next 24 hours off the west coast of Florida before making landfall around the Big Bend region late Monday morning. At this point, the models have shown agreement with Debby intensifying into a strong Category 1 hurricane prior to landfall. However, Debby's maximum sustained winds are already outpacing the recent model projections as it moves into 87°+ F water, some of the warmest in the Gulf of Mexico, so it's plausible that Debby may strengthen beyond current forecasts. This equates to maximum sustained winds at landfall exceeding 80 mph, with maximum gusts upwards of 100 mph. #tropicalstormdebby #debby #hurricaneseason2024 #hurricaneseason #hurricane #tropics #tropicalstorm #atlantic #atlanticbasin
