International
Hurricane Center:
The goal of the International
Hurricane Center (IHC) at Florida International University
(FIU) is to promote a multi-disciplinary research mission
focused on mitigation of hurricane damage to people, the economy,
and the built and natural environments. The long-term
objective is to help the State of Florida, other vulnerable
U.S. East Coast and Gulf states, and the nations of the Caribbean
and Central America reduce the human and property losses regularly
inflicted by hurricanes.
As a Type I
center of the State University System (SUS) of Florida (thereby
being able to draw on the resources of all Florida public
universities) and located on the same university campus as
NOAA's National Hurricane Center, the IHC is uniquely positioned
to provide the research, training, and outreach needed to
reduce hurricane losses at the local, state, regional, and
international levels.
Among its services, the
IHC:
- Provides comprehensive
forecasts of potential hurricane impacts
- Contributes to the
community's preparedness planning
- Conducts both basic
and applied research
To learn more about the
IHC's local and global activities please visit the center's
website.
FIU has also developed another website with current hurricane
and weather information.
