The university has recently launched a new online survey platform called Enterprise Feedback Management Community to replace the existing WebSurveyor program.

EFM Community was designed to provide faculty and staff the ability to author questionnaires, post surveys, collect responses and disseminate findings, according to an ITS statement.

Specifically, the computer should project whether hurricanes will develop with greater frequency and more intensity. It also will forecast a host of other conditions, from excessive rains to severe drought.
