Severe Weather Preparedness

2020 Severe Weather is Forecasted Above Normal

Experts are predicting an active hurricane season, with a 69% chance of at least one major storm to make landfall along the United States Coast
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is forecasting a likely range of 13 to 19 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher)
Wildfires are expected to increase across the West due to severe drought conditions and high temperatures.
Tornadoes are forecasted to be slightly above normal, with a range of 1,350 to 1,450.

Severe weather such as this put millions in harm’s way every year. Often, preparedness on the part of responders, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and private companies can mean the difference between life and death.
