At the Seattle all-hands meeting in November 2023, the Deltares Modelling Team presented their results on the 2023 Hurricane Season. Presentations were given on the Cosmos modelling system and the surge and flooding estimates due to Idalia and Ophelia (De Goede), beach and dune erosion due to Lee and Ophelia (Quataert), offshore wave comparison to buoys for Lee and Idalia (Nederhoff), damages and impacts for Idalia and Ian (2022) (Athanasiou) and an outlook on the probabilistic assessments for Idalia (Van Ormondt).

Deltares presented their results on coastal flooding and damages due to hurricanes Ian (2022), Idalia (2023), Beryl (2024) and Francine (2024) at ICCE2024 and in Storymap.
A tool for production of rapid-repeat high-resolution coastal vegetation maps has been developed.
The NHCI project coordinated the airdrop of 16 surface wave buoys and subsurface water level sensors in the path of Hurricane Francine.
