the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico
looking for tropical disturbances.
If wind speeds within such disturbances reach 39 mph and
move in a circular pattern in a counter‐clockwise direction,

Tropical storms that continue to grow are designated as
hurricanes when their wind speeds exceed 74 mph.
Hurricanes generally occur between June 1st and November
30th.

surge may rise 20 ft. or more in large hurricanes.
Emergency management
