The National Hurricane Program support tool, HURREVAC (HURRicane EVACuation), is actively supporting
emergency management decisions at many levels during the 2020 hurricane
season. HURREVAC provides dynamic hurricane forecast data, advanced
and tailored decision support products and reports, high resolution storm surge
modeling and exploration, and embedded storm simulations and training. During
Hurricane Laura, more than 1,800 emergency managers were simultaneously utilizing
HURREVAC to access forecast and timing information. Since the release of the
web-based HURREVAC tool, more than 16,000 state, local, tribal, territorial and
federal emergency managers have registered for access to the system.
