As we enter the 2024 hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts an above-average year for named storms—somewhere between 17 and 25. Effective planning is crucial for successful disaster response, especially considering the likelihood of a named storm hitting the US coastline this year. One key partner in this process is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). We recently had an insightful conversation with FEMA’s Hurricane Program Director, Brandon Bolinski. Brandon’s meteorology background, experience in emergency planning at the state level, and tenure at the National Weather Service make him a valuable resource. His expertise will undoubtedly contribute to effective disaster management this hurricane season as he coordinates with officials at all levels. Brandon shares a lot of valuable knowledge and insights, so, have a listen!
