Hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, floods: Whatever the risk, here's how to be more weather-ready

Hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, floods – whatever your local risk, here's how to be more weather-ready


The approach of summer in the U.S. means that it’s time to be ready for hurricanes and wildfires. The incidence of weather and climate disasters is increasing in the U.S., a trend due partly to climate change but also to human decisions.
Since the 1950s, population growth has increased significantly in Sun Belt states. Millions of people have moved to coastlines, from Texas to the Carolinas, putting more lives and property in harm’s way during hurricanes. Florida, the hurricane capital of the United States, now is the third-most-populous state in the nation.
Recognizing that Americans are increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather-Ready Nation initiative is helping communities plan for events like violent tornadoes, destructive hurricanes and widespread flooding. As a meteorologist and supporter of this effort, I believe that everyone should understand what kinds of severe weather hazards could affect th ....

The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season begins today, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts an above-average season, estimating 13 to 20 named storms with possibly half of those being hurricanes. Out of those storms, NOAA predicts between three and five may become major hurricanes.
FIU experts are available to discuss various issues surrounding hurricanes and their aftermath. The full list of experts will be continuously updated.

Wall of Wind competition inspires high school students to become engineers, tackle real-world problems


By Erik Salna
It was the moment of truth. Students from South Florida high schools anxiously watched Zoom live streams to determine whether their models of flat rooftops would stand up against 70 mph winds at FIU’s NHERI Wall of Wind (WOW) Experimental Facility.
Every year, FIU hosts its Wall of Wind Mitigation Challenge, in which teams of local high school students develop innovative wind mitigation concepts and solutions within guidelines set by FIU’s wind engineers. The objective of the 2021 challenge was for students to design a way to reduce the impact of wind scour – the process of wind scraping against surfaces – on a building’s flat roof. Each team had to develop a solution to prevent roof gravel from blowing away during testing. ....

Vulnerable communities, which include Black and Hispanic South Florida residents, are often disproportionately impacted by disasters such as hurricanes, floods and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic.  
 
FIU researchers plan to study and address these racial and ethnic disparities over the next three years with a $4.63 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The Commons for Justice (CfJ) project will look for solutions to address disparities in preparing for a disaster and increasing a community’s ability to survive and recover. The project was funded as part of the Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative, in collaboration with 10 community organizations and two FIU museums. ....
