The National Hurricane Center (NHC)

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is a U.S. government agency that monitors and forecasts tropical storms and hurricanes. Based in Miami, Florida, it provides vital information to help protect lives and property during hurricane season, which runs from June to November. The NHC uses satellite data, weather models, and analysis from meteorologists to track storm movements, predict potential impacts, and issue warnings. Its findings are crucial for emergency preparedness, allowing governments and communities to make informed decisions regarding evacuations and safety measures. The NHC plays a key role in disaster response and public awareness regarding hurricanes.
