Preparing Caribbean for 2024 hurricane season

Maj. Philip Blancher, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron pilot, briefs students about the WC-130J aircraft during the Caribbean Hurricane Awareness Tour at St. Lucia April 19, 2024. During the event, April 16-20, 2024, NOAA hurricane specialists and the U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters visited four Caribbean nations to discuss hurricane preparedness, resilience, and how people can become weather ready. Dignitaries, students and the public toured the aircraft at each location to learn how the 53rd WRS collects weather data to improve National Hurricane Center forecasts. (U.S. Air Force photo by Lt.
