The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced it is launching field tests this summer for an advanced storm surge warning system designed to save lives during hurricanes and tropical storms.

The new technology, called Hazard Services, will provide geographically precise alerts that could dramatically reduce unnecessary evacuations while ensuring those in genuine danger receive timely warnings. Newsweek contacted Theo Stein at NOAA Communication via email on Saturday for comment.

Why It Matters

Storm surge, not wind, is the deadliest aspect of hurricanes and tropical storms. Over the past 50 years, nearly half of all tropical cyclone deaths in the United States resulted from storm surge flooding. The entire East and Gulf coasts remain vulnerable to this threat, which can push water inland along rivers and canals far from the immediate coastline, according to the NOAA.

Current storm surge warnings use designated alerting zones that may unnecessarily alarm communities outside the actual risk area, potentially leading to evacuation fatigue and reduced compliance with future warnings. The new system aims to solve this critical communication challenge by providing more targeted, accurate alerts.

in-turn associated with RWers and total evangelist nut cases coupled with shithole and his administration and the so called Christians. JC teachings is out of the window and hate ensues.

But to be somewhat optimistic and apparently we are in the experimental aspect of the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS) which I hope have no relations to musk and this administration. Alas, the firing of competent meteorologist, weather experts and journalists, I will hold my breath, and pray for a good out come.
