Outreach: "Canes on Canes"

The Rosenstiel School's "Canes on Canes" team has developed a series of presentations to help educate the public about the science of hurricanes and hurricane preparedness. The content is informative, thorough, and can be tuned to a specific audience or allotted time.

We want to talk to you!

If you know of a community, organization, or event in southeast Florida where a presentation would be beneficial, let us know and we will make the arrangements. In south Florida, anytime is a good time to learn more about hurricanes!
