UPR Hurricanes

The UPR Hurricanes are collaborative research teams formed by the University of Puerto Rico to study and address hurricane impacts, resilience, and preparedness in Puerto Rico. They focus on understanding hurricane behavior, improving forecasting, and strengthening community and infrastructure resilience to mitigate damage from future storms. These teams integrate scientific research with practical applications, aiming to develop better strategies for protecting lives and property during hurricane events. Their work helps inform policymakers, emergency services, and residents about risks and effective mitigation techniques, ultimately fostering a culture of resilience in hurricane-prone regions.
