A few weeks ago, we hosted a webinar with Mr. Robert Garcia, who is the Warning Coordination Meteorologist of the National Weather Service (NWS). He did an excellent job-sharing valuable information on hurricane preparedness, breaking down key points, and equipping us with practical tools to help keep our families and communities safe this season.

1. 10%
2. 33%
3. 50%
4. 66%

B. Which National Hurricane Center (NHC) product can help me determine the chance of tropical storm or hurricane-force winds in a given area?

1. Forecast Cone
2. Wind Speed Probabilities
3. Watch/Warning Map
4. Spaghetti Model Plot

C. Which of these is not a reliable source of hurricane information?
