2018 AIR U.S. Hurricane Season in Review
In this webinar, Dr. Eric Uhlhorn and Dr. Karthik Ramanathan provide their insight and analysis on the 2018 U.S. hurricane season.
You will walk away with a deeper understanding of what happened this season in terms of storm activity and climate signals, the impact of building codes and risk mitigation, and how ongoing scientific research is driving improvements to storm forecasting and real-time loss estimates.
