For the hurricane season, which officially runs from June one - November 30, N.O.A.A. is predicting a 70 percent likelihood of six to eleven named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which three to six could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including ze...

As the country becomes more vulnerable to water-related events, from drought to flooding, the innovative predictive science and services developed by N.O.A.A. and its partners at the National Water Center will bolster the nation's ability to manage threats to its finite water resources and mitigate impacts t...

This information could be used by resource and public health managers deal with the toxic blooms, which can affect human and animal health. The harm...

This builds on NOAA's commitment to provide information, tools, and services to help coastal communities reduce risk and project for future severe events. NOAA's National Ocean Service is supporting the effort with...
