The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is actively engaged in a Caribbean hurricane awareness tour, with a recent significant stop in the Florida Keys. This initiative is a critical component of NOAA's broader efforts to enhance preparedness measures in anticipation of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially begins on June 1. The primary objective of the tour is to educate the public about the inherent risks associated with hurricanes and to emphasize the paramount importance of early preparation.
