Hurricanes

Hurricanes and tropical storms are cyclones that begin in the tropics. They bring a variety of life-threatening hazards such as high winds, flooding and loss of utilities. Preparation is the best protection against the dangers of a hurricane. Much of the damage and loss of life associated with hurricanes can be prevented or reduced by planning, preparation and evacuation.
