What Does SSH Stand For?

SSH stands for Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSH) is a classification system used to assess the intensity of hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds. It categorizes storms into five levels, from Category 1 to Category 5, with each category indicating increasing potential for property damage and storm surge risk. The scale helps inform emergency preparedness and response efforts by providing a standardized measure of a hurricane's strength and potential impact on coastal communities.
