Register for the 2025 HURREVAC webinar series

Registration is open for the National Hurricane Program’s free annual HURREVAC webinar series. Government emergency managers are invited to join us each day from May 19 to May 22, 2025.

New HURREVAC users who have not yet had an opportunity to get comprehensive training are strongly encouraged to attend. Returning HURREVAC users are also welcome to use this opportunity to refresh their skills and get the latest information about NOAA’s forecast products and services ahead of the 2025 season.

The four sessions will focus on these themes:

• Monday, May 19 – Intro to HURREVAC
• Tuesday, May 20 – Wind Forecast Features
• Wednesday, May 21 – Storm Surge and Flooding Hazards
• Thursday, May 22 – Evacuation Timing Features

You must register for each day you plan to attend.

What to expect

All sessions will go live at 2 PM EDT and run for approximately 2 hours.

If you are familiar with how the HURREVAC webinars were structured in the past, please be aware of a few new changes based in part on attendee feedback. Instead of five 90-minute sessions in June, we have rearranged the instruction into four 2-hour sessions in May. The exercises that were previously presented on Friday (Day 5) are spread throughout the week instead.

The first half of each session will be devoted to an expert presentation of hurricane-related concepts and walk-through of related tools in HURREVAC. After a short break, the second half of each session will be devoted to more applied demonstrations and exercises. Follow the links in the list above to find more details about the topics that will be covered each day. This arrangement is intended to build concepts gradually through the course of the week, while mixing in opportunities to practice skills and ask questions.

FAQ

Please plan to join the webinars on a device with a stable internet connection and a screen that is large enough to resolve details of the HURREVAC workspace. We strongly recommend using a laptop or office workstation instead of a phone screen. You may simply watch the webinar, or follow along with the demos in your own HURREVAC account if you have a second screen.

For those who are unable to attend the webinars (partially or entirely), or would like to review the material at a later time, recordings of each session will also be posted to the HURREVAC YouTube channel prior to the start of the next day’s session.
