Hurricanes: What's Next? Teach-Out

Welcome to the Hurricanes: What's Next? Teach-Out! For those of you that participated in the first version of this Teach-Out that was live in September 2017, welcome back!

In this updated version of the Teach-Out, Perry will address what we know about Hurricane Florence. Additionally, he will answer your questions about Florence or any other pressing issues around hurricanes, typhoons, and related weather phenomena.

Additional updates from late July 2018:

• As we approach the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, we also feature interviews with two people who were on-the-ground for Hurricane Irma in Florida and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. We hear from professors Larry La Fountain-Stokes and Sue Anne Bell about what life was like in the days, weeks, and months after Irma and Maria struck. Larry is a native Puerto Rican trying to help his 89-year-old mother and Sue Anne as a Clinical Nurse Practitioner part of the National Disaster Response Team.

   

• Lastly, Perry offers an updated introduction where he provides foundational information about hurricanes and sets the stage for the Teach-Out experience. Finally, Perry concludes this Teach-Out with new research published in 2018 about the degree to which climate change and a warming ocean impact the frequency and strength of hurricanes.
