Be Prepared: Hurricane, Flood, Wildfire, Earthquake and Nat Cat Response Site

The updated Atlantic hurricane season forecasts from Colorado State University (CSU) and Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) project a very active 2022 Atlantic Basin hurricane season. In its June 2022 forecast, CSU is projecting 20 named storms, of which 10 are likely to be hurricanes and of those, five could become major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). TSR’s May update similarly predicts an above-norm hurricane season, with a likelihood of 18 named storms, eight hurricanes and four Category 3+ hurricanes.
