2020 NHC Awards

AWARDS DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020.

You are invited to make nominations for the National Hurricane Conference’s 2020 Awards Program.  Awards will be presented during the General Session on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

Step 1: Select Award Category

Award Category *

Neil Frank Award: The Conference's top award presented to an individual for making a major impact in the areas of hurricane preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation or related fields through truly exceptional and original improvements. The impact of those improvements must be national or international in scope.

Distinguished Service Award: For a sustained, significant contribution to one or more fields of hurricane related activity or knowledge over a career. The intent is to recognize individuals whose cumulative accomplishments are of unusual merit, but who might not have the national or international impact necessary for the Neil Frank Award.

Outstanding Achievement Award: For a specific outstanding, and innovative achievement in any hurricane-related activity, which may serve as a model to others. Examples include, but are not limited to: legislation, public awareness programs, financing mechanisms, sheltering plans, engineering research, warning notification systems, and prediction techniques. The key word for this award is innovation. We're looking for individuals or organizations who're doing things in a new or better way and which are worthy of emulation by others around the country. The award is not for someone who is simply doing his or her job well.
