The MMS Hurricane website contains a variety of information in many subject areas ranging from safety and evacuations to environmental studies and technological improvements. There is also historical hurricane data, a selection of pictures, statistics on energy resources shut in and subsequently returned to production during the 2005 storms, as well as terms, definitions, and fact sheets.
