Sending aloha to our partners in Colombia! Our team was excited to return to Bogotá this week to share the preliminary results of the National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) with the Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (UNGRD), Colombia’s national disaster management organization and our valued partner in the assessment.
As we look to conclude Colombia’s NDPBA in February, we look forward to continuing to work closely alongside UNGRD and their in-country partners as we finalize the assessment. We also look forward to returning in-country to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, which will serve to guide our continued partnership not only for the NDPBA but also for future projects and capacity building efforts as we work together to build a safer world.

Hurricane Milton, currently at Category 3 strength, is forecast to make landfall on the Florida Gulf Coast late tonight as a dangerous major hurricane. Devastating hurricane-force winds are expected along portions of the west coast of Florida, and life-threatening hurricane-force winds are anticipated to spread inland across the peninsula and to portions of Florida eastern coast.
A large area of destructive storm surge (with highest inundations of 10 feet or greater) is expected along a portion of the west-central coast of the Florida Peninsula, and heavy rains bring a risk of catastrophic and life-threatening flooding. The risk of strong tornadoes will continue into the evening hours across the southern and central portions of the Florida Peninsula.

Milton, currently at Category 4 strength, is expected to grow in size and remain an extremely dangerous hurricane when it approaches Florida's west coast tomorrow. Devastating hurricane-force winds are anticipated along portions of the west coast of Florida, and Milton is forecast to remain a life-threatening hurricane as it crosses the Florida peninsula.
A large area of destructive storm surge will occur along parts of the west coast of Florida. Areas of heavy rainfall will continue to impact portions of the state well ahead of Milton, bringing the risk of life-threatening flooding.
