Rapid Response to Coastal Ports-a Key NOAA Hurricane Season Goal

摘要

With an active hurricane season forecast by NOAA's National Weather Service, planning and preparation is the message to the general public as well as key components within NOAA who respond with emergency services support following a storm's passage.rnCritical to a coastal community's rebound after a major coastal storm hit is the work of NOAA's Office of Coast Survey's Navigational Response Teams (NRTs). When hurricanes and strong storms make landfall, they often bring stronger than normal ocean currents that can shift navigational channels as well as debris that can threaten the ability of vessels to navigate safely in these channels.
