Preparing Caribbean for 2024 hurricane season

Capt. Amaryllis Cotto, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron aerial reconnaissance weather officer, poses for a group photo during the Caribbean Hurricane Awareness Tour at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, April 20, 2024. NOAA hurricane specialists and the U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters discussed hurricane preparedness, resilience and how people can become “weather-ready” April 16-20, 2024. The group visited four Caribbean locations where event dignitaries, students and the public toured the WC-130J aircraft to learn how scientists collect hurricane information to improve National Hurricane Center forecasts.
