1/2 #HurricaneLee is undergoing a 3rd eyewall replacement cycle this morning. The CIMSS M-PERC algorithm is designed to predict the onset of these events to aid forecasters. The lead time for the 1st event was 24 hours, 12 hours for the second and the 3rd is still evolving.

Of all natural hazards, earthquakes cause the deadliest disasters, accounting for 58% of total disaster deaths between 2000-2019. Like all disasters, the impacts are exacerbated by other risk factors, such as inequality and poverty.
I am heartbroken to learn of the growing number of earthquake victims in Morocco. This is a time for solidarity, for garnering assistance, and for grieving. Once the response phase is over, UNDRR stands ready to assist communities to build back better.
