Welcome

Welcome to the National Hurricane Program (NHP) Resource Center website. The NHP helps protect communities and residents from hurricane hazards through its projects and activities. Established in 1985, the NHP conducts assessments and provides tools and technical assistance to state and local agencies for developing hurricane evacuation, response, and recovery plans.

The program is a multi-agency partnership with oversight by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Federal NHP partnering agencies include National Oceanic & Atmospheric Association (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). USACE has been a NHP partner since the program's inception in 1985, providing oversight and technical guidance to all Hurricane Evacuation Studies (HES), Post Storm Assessments (PSA), and HURREVAC.

The mission of the NHP Resource Center website is to provide a data repository that allows Federal, state, local, and tribal emergency management program partners to quickly access data and information from NHP products to assist their hurricane emergency management planning. Additionally, this site provides an avenue for education and training about NHP tools and products. Specifically, NHP products and information provided on this website include:

• Hurricane Evacuation Studies
• Post Storm Assessments

We hope that this website will be a focal point allowing all program partners to develop and expand their knowledge of the tools and products of the NHP.
