Introduction to Hurricane Preparedness
Introduction to Hurricane Preparedness is jointly sponsored
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
National
Weather Service
and the Department of Homeland Security's
Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
The annual week-long course targets local and state personnel
responsible for hurricane mitigation and response in courses which include
hurricane meteorology, hurricane hazards and hurricane planning activities.
Three training cycles are offered annually to emergency managers from the
Gulf coastal region (Texas to Florida) and East coastal states (Florida to
Virginia and Maryland to Maine). FEMA
also conducts an annual two-day
workshop at the privately sponsored National Hurricane Conference. The
workshop shares the same general goals, objectives and teaching staff as the
Introduction to Hurricane Preparedness course.
