Abstract
NOAA’s Disaster Preparedness Program partnered with Coastal Response Research Center (CRRC) to facilitate webinars on two consecutive days focusing on NOAA’s hurricane preparedness and readiness for personnel, mission, infrastructure (PMI). The virtual event entitled “NOAA Hurricane Preparedness Summit 2024,” helped put NOAA in a better posture for the 2024 hurricane season by identifying best practices and lessons learned from the 2023 season, recognizing and discussing challenges related to climate change and extreme weather events, and socializing tools and resources available to support different stages of response. The summit included plenary presentations from federal and state agency representatives outlining topics such as: interpreting and using NWS Products and Services, looking back at the 2023 hurricane season, preparedness at home, operational spotlights, and showcase technological innovations, tools, and resources. Objectives: NOAA and its partners must evolve and adapt to sufficiently prepare for and mitigate extreme weather events that now occur with increasing frequency and intensity. Identify innovative solutions and strategies for improvement, including those that address challenges identified in previous hurricane seasons.
