This webpage is to help public health professionals and Department of Defense beneficiaries prepare for, respond to, and recover from hurricanes and typhoons. Here you'll find resources and information to help you stay safe.
Hurricanes and typhoons are both powerful storms. They're the same type of storm, called a tropical cyclone. The only difference is where they form.
Hurricanes form in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Typhoons form in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean.
