Published by Office for Coastal Management | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 11:48 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 10, 2024 at 12:00 AM
Hurricanes and other tropical cyclones pose a high risk to people, property, and ecosystems along the coastline of the United States. The impact of these storms can cascade through the nation's economy and affect communities far from the coast. Understanding the geographic limit of and exposure to winds from tropical cyclones can help citizens, businesses, and government agencies build resilience to these pending dangers. These data portray wind exposure between 1988 and 2022 in the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Ocean basins and between 2001 and 2022 in the Western Pacific Ocean basin. Exposure was quantified using intersecting storm tracks, overlapping wind intensity areas, and calculated return intervals.
