By Anthony Prassoulis, Information & Advocacy Unit, OCHA ROLAC What is expected to be yet another above-normal Atlantic hurricane season got off to an early start with the formation of subtropical storm Ana on 22 May.

While this year’s hurricane season is unlikely to match the record-shattering, frenzied pace of 2020, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration projects it will still churn out 13-20 named storms in the Atlantic, with 6-10 of those storms potentially becoming hurricanes, including 3-5 major hurricanes of category 3 strength or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

This partnership will ensure that the region is better poised to face the growing impacts from natural disasters with the help of two global partner organizations. Following their successful responses to Hurricane Dorian (2019) in The Bahamas, the 2020 response to Hurricanes Eta and Iota, and the ongoing collaboration throughout Asia and the Pacific, UNOCHA and PDC have broadened focus to sign a new Memorandum of Cooperation supporting OCHA’s Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC).
