NOAA Extreme Weather Information Sheets were created to cover coastal regions of states and the two US territories that are particularly at risk from tropical storms and hurricanes. For ten years, we have provided NOAA Extreme Weather Information Sheets as laminated, “one-stop” ready references containing phone numbers and Web site information residents can use during potentially life-threatening weather emergencies. Starting in 2016, we will provide NOAA Extreme Weather Information Sheets via the Internet only. You may access the 22 available sheets as PDFs through the links below. Feel free to print, link to, and share the sheets.
