“A Guide to Understanding the Real-Time Impact Forecasting System: A Question and Answer Booklet”, has been produced by CCRIF to enable key officials such as disaster and emergency managers in our member countries to effectively utilise the real-time hurricane hazard and impact information that this tool provides during the hurricane season. By providing advanced knowledge of a hurricane’s expected site-specific impacts, the Real-Time Impact Forecasting System (RTFS) can support effective hurricane preparedness, response and evacuation.
