The Scope of Our Science
In 2020, the U.S. experienced 30 named storms for first time in 170 years of record keeping. Impacts were seen far inland, and the entire Gulf and Atlantic coasts were impacted at some point. Since 2017, 14 hurricanes made landfall in the U.S., causing $353 billion in damages. USGS science helps reduce these losses by enhancing our Nation’s capabilities to forecast impacts and provide real time...
