In June 2005, the Harris County Flood Control District released its new 2005 interactive hurricane tracking chart. It's a robust, on-demand tracker that displays on users' computer screens and is also filled with valuable, educational content to keep citizens informed... and prepared.
The Harris County Flood Control District's 2005 Hurricane Tracking Chart is easy to use and is downloadable from the District's website in both PC and Mac formats. Users should go to www.hcfcd.org/hurricanetracker.html to proceed with the download.
Packed With Features
The full version 2005 Hurricane Tracking Chart includes:
- An automatic tracker, with new inset tracking map that displays the Atlantic Ocean and tracks storms from the coast of Africa
- Path projections, plus additional storm data, including speeds, coordinates, and more
- A printable tracking chart
- Interactive, animated historical storms
- Hurricane & flood safety info, including printable evacuation routes
- Downloads/PDFs
- Contact info & more!
Tracker Lite Too!
For users who do not wish to download the feature-packed full version of the tracker, there is a "Tracker Lite" web version that is viewable online. It tracks 2005 storms only, with live coordinate points and path projections.
"Once again, we're pleased to provide this free educational tool for Harris County citizens, and the interactive tracker is useful for citizens anywhere," said Mike Talbott, Director of the Harris County Flood Control District. "While we're not an emergency management agency, we want to leverage our ability to help educate and prepare local citizens to better cope with the dangers and seriousness of hurricanes and flooding."
