Hurricane season is less than a month away, but the National Hurricane Center’s Hurricane Awareness Tour is in full swing with a twist.
Last year the tour was cancelled due to the pandemic, leaving parents and teachers wondering how to address educational opportunities while at home. That’s when the NHC stepped in with a series of webinars chock full of all things hurricane related, and it turned out to be a huge success.
Over 4,000 students in various states attended the live webinars and there were 5,500 views on the recorded segments within a few weeks. Even the adults seemed to enjoy the webinars.
