Maria Torres turned her childhood fascination with Puerto Rican storms into a groundbreaking career at the National Hurricane Center, where she serves as the first female Public Affairs Officer and bilingual spokesperson. In this special Hispanic Heritage Month episode, Maria shares her inspiring journey from a curious child watching lightning, to becoming the trusted Spanish-language voice that delivers life-saving hurricane warnings to millions.
Maria discusses why representation matters when it comes to weather preparedness, how language barriers can become life-or-death issues during emergencies, and her vital role in ensuring that critical storm information reaches everyone who needs it.
