The National Hurricane Program (NHP) provides data, resources and technical assistance for hurricane evacuation planning and response for state, local, tribal, territorial and federal government partners. Hurricane evacuation and response planning efforts span from steady-state deliberate planning to operational decision support and crisis planning when hurricanes threaten the United States.

The National Hurricane Center conducts a practical program of education and outreach on hazardous tropical weather for the public, educators, students, scientists, businesses, and government agencies. Increased awareness of hazardous tropical weather and its potential impacts are vital to the public and those emergency managers charged with safeguarding lives and property. NHC fulfills this responsibility through direct contact with these groups; formal and informal training; increased data availability; dissemination of scientific and other publications and feedback to effectively adapt to evolving needs.

For one to form, there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air, as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

The destructive power of storm surge and large battering waves can result in loss of life, buildings destroyed, beach and dune erosion and road and bridge damage along the coast. Storm surge can travel several miles inland. In estuaries and bayous, saltwater intrusion endangers public health and the environment.

Strong winds can completely defoliate forest canopies and cause dramatic structural changes in wooded ecosystems.
Animals can either be killed by hurricanes or impacted indirectly through changes in habitat and food availability caused by high winds, storm surges, and intense rainfall.
Strong winds and flooding can uproot plants and kill land animals, devastating natural areas.
Wind and waves break coral, damaging it or forcing it on shore and disrupting the ocean ecosystem.
Fish and benthic organisms face turbulent conditions due to waves and wind.

The Sun's heat causes ocean surface waters to evaporate. The warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses to form clouds.The heat hurricanes generate is from the condensation of water vapor as it convectively rises around the eye wall. The lapse rate must be unstable around the eyewall to ensure rising parcels of air will continue to rise and condense water vapor.
