Already deadly Hurricane Irma, is raging as a Category 5 storm in the Atlantic. Forecast to hit the Florida coast within just a few days as one of the strongest hurricanes in recorded Atlantic history, Irma continues to pack record-breaking maximum sustained winds of 185 mph<\/abbr>, with gusts of up to 224 mph<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

To support the countless local, national and regional responders, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> managed Pacific Disaster Center<\/a> (PDC) is working around the clock to produce analytical products and reports through its state-of-the-art impact models and DisasterAWARE technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Irma presents an extraordinary threat to the people, communities and economies in the path of the storm. This is the key reason PDC<\/abbr> exists today—to help mitigate these threats before they happen and to provide real-time information to emergency managers so they can help protect and support the most vulnerable populations,” said PDC<\/abbr>’s Tim Manning<\/a><\/strong>, senior advisor and former deputy administrator of FEMA<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n
