Early warnings save lives - but only if they reach the right people in time.

New research shows how WorldPop data and multi-hazard alerts reduce cyclone risk, exposure, and recovery time.

Tsunamis and atolls: why warnings must be locally meaningful

The usual tsunami advice to move inland and to move to high ground might not be possible for many atolls. Generic, international, trans-oceanic warnings need to become locally meaningful. What advice should be given for surviving tsunamis?

The severe weather risk stretches more than 1,200 miles in total, with intense #storms predicted to reach as far as East #Texas to the Mid-#Atlantic through the weekend. After this #storm system winds down, another is expected to pick up to the west, with strong #tornadoes in the forecast by Sunday for parts of the #GreatPlains.

In #Wisconsin, a visibly striking #tornado spun through fields in New Richmond, while another caused significant damage in Hammond. In the capital of Madison, a hailstorm dropped #hail up to 2” in diameter.

The #NWS has issued #tornado & severe #storm warnings throughout the region, & cautioned that much of #Kentucky & parts of #Tennessee are also under a moderate risk for #flooding.
