  • Thursday's Focus Is on Hurricanes and Flooding
    Florida’s Severe Weather Awareness Week takes place from February 1-5, 2021. Severe Weather Awareness Week is an opportunity for Floridians to learn about the various weather hazards that frequently impact the state and how families and businesses can prepare for these natural events. Each day focuses on a specific weather event. Thursday’s focus is on hurricanes and flooding. The most feared weather phenomenon throughout Florida during the summer and early fall is the tropical cyclone. Close to the tropics and surrounded on three sides by warm water, the unique location of Florida makes it particularly vulnerable to these systems as they develop across the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. The relatively flat terrain of Florida can also make it susceptible to flooding. Florida has a long history of hurricanes. Records indicate that approximately 118 hurricanes and around 164 tropical storms have impacted the state since 1888 (133 years), with many more cited in history books prior to that year and even before official records were kept. DID YOU KNOW??? No other state in the country has more hurricane landfalls per year on average than Florida does. Nearly 40% of all hurricanes that strike the United States make landfall in Florida. DID YOU KNOW??? In the last 150 years, all of Florida’s counties have been impacted by at least one hurricane. The North Atlantic Ocean hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and continues through November 30. However, tropical systems can still form outside of hurricane season as early as May and as late as December.

  • DTM Regional Overview— Countries Impacted by Hurricanes Eta And
    REGIONAL OVERVIEW Countries Impacted by Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Regional Office for Central America, North Latin America and the Caribbean | December 2020 America and the Caribbean | San José, Costa Rica HIGHLIGHTS 7 MILLION PEOPLE HURRICANE ETA HURRICANE IOTA AFFECTED CATEGORY 4 CATEGORY 5 as of 02 December 1 - 14 November 13 - 18 November Between 1 and 18 November 2020, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and parts of South America were affected by two major natural hazards - Hurricane Eta, which reached the second highest hurricane classification of Category 4, followed by Hurricane Iota, which peaked at the highest classification of Category 5. Both hurricanes caused strong impacts in the region, particularly in 10 countries including Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica (and other Caribbean islands), Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama, affecting more than 7 million people as of 2 December 2020. Amongst these, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua are the most affected. Subsequently, national response authorities and humanitarian organizations have organized and established response and recovery mechanisms to assist and address the impacts of the hurricanes in the affected areas. Accurate, sub-national information on the number of people affected and displaced in formal and informal shelters is important to assist the response. The map on page 2 highlights affected areas in the first administrative subdivision (Departments, States, Provinces or Districts) in each of the affected countries in the region. This IOM DTM report provides a regional overview of countries affected by this environmental emergency, derived from data collected and published by governments in the region, the United Nations (UN) and other intergovernmental entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), media reports and country-level DTM exercises.
