Check Applied Forecasts

This mobile application for Apple, Android, and Blackberry devices contains crucial information for all hazards covered by FEMA.

The app features:

Wildland fire is a natural part of many ecosystems across North America. The North American Seasonal Fire Assessment and Outlook provides a monthly discussion of conditions that may affect the occurrence of wildland fires across the continent in the upcoming months. The Outlook's monthly maps and country-focused discussions provide a broad assessment of the factors expected to contribute to an increase or decrease of seasonal fire activity. The objective of the Outlook is to assist wildland fire managers in preparing for the potential variations in a typical fire season.

The Rio Grande-Bravo Climate Impacts and Outlook is a monthly product that provides timely climate, weather, and impacts information to stakeholders, researchers, and other interested parties in the Rio Grande/Bravo Basin region of New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. Each edition recaps conditions over the previous months, including notable events, and then shows forecasts for the next three months for temperature, precipitation, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and fire conditions.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting daily air quality—it tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The AQI is calculated for four major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect public health. Of these, ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the two pollutants that pose the greatest threat to human health.

NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) wants you to be prepared for hazardous weather year-round. Each campaign includes resources—including websites, articles, social media, infographics, videos, and other content—around the weather hazards most common during the winter, spring, summer, and fall, with an additional campaign focused on hurricane safety.

This online tool presents hazard data in maps and in narrative briefs, integrating National Weather Service medium (3–7 days) and extended (8–14 days) categorical outlooks, as well as probabilistic extended outlooks (8-14 days). Hazards include high winds, significant waves, severe weather, heavy rain, freezing rain, heavy snow, heavy precipitation, above- and below-normal temperatures, excessive heat, flooding, enhanced wildfire risk, and severe drought.

J-SCOPE provides short-term (six- to nine-month) forecasts of ocean conditions that are testable and relevant to management decisions for fisheries, protected species, and ecosystem health. Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs) offer a framework for informing ecosystem-based management, which aims to take into account interactions among ecosystem components and managed sectors, as well as cumulative impacts of a wide spectrum of ocean-use sectors.

This website offers information on how physical and biological ocean conditions may affect the growth and survival of juvenile salmon in the northern California Current off Oregon and Washington. Information comes from a variety of internet sources and direct observations from biweekly oceanographic sampling along the Newport (Oregon) Hydrographic Line and annual juvenile salmonid surveys conducted off Oregon and Washington. 

NOAA Coral Reef Watch's online global decision support system uses satellite, in situ, and modeled data to deliver tools that help managers prepare for and respond to environmental stress to coral reef ecosystems, especially stress caused by climate variability and change. Marine managers can use the site to:
