Hurricane Help from Cuba

Tuesday, 30 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

There’s a rare example of cooperation between Cuba and the United States in the New York Times this morning. When lives are on the line it seems that political disputes with Cuba are set aside.  Cuba has really good hurricane forecasters.  The Times says there is routine and unrestricted cooperation between Cuban forecasters and US forecasters but that’s where it stops. The countries’ respective disaster management agencies, for example, don’t communicate at all.
