Hurricane In Puerto Rico

The Andrew Hurricane situation in Louisiana was destructive, but handled properly by all governmental levels. Hurricane Andrew was devastating and left thousands of individuals homeless. The milling process was implemented early and it ended quickly. In Louisiana the hurricane did not destroy most communication and transportations systems like in Florida. The local government followed the strategic plan that was established and was prepared to react quickly. After Florida, government of Louisiana prepared for the worst and created a plan after seeing reports from Florida. The people of Louisiana worked together and the Cajun culture had a major part of the reconstruction process. Louisiana has a very strong united Cajun community that is strong

Hurricanes are disastrous forces that destroy homes and families. Making life harder for those already suffering or completely obliterating the financial status of a family. Not to mention the issues it can cause for local wildlife among damage to humans.

In the turn of the new century, the people of Galveston were faced with a grim reminder. The event that destroyed the small island of Galveston, the Galveston Hurricane, had many social, political, and economic impacts that made this storm life-changing. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 improved Texas for the better and helped Galveston grow stronger as a city.

Tropical storms formed 5-30 degrees north of the equator, so if there is a largely populated area or economic centre around this latitude, in an area vulnerable to hurricanes, the impact will be increased in comparison to the tropical storm running its course over unpopulated islands or the ocean. This can be seen when looking at Hurricane Sandy, a tropical storm of 2012 and its impact on Cuba. Cuba was located in the Hurricane’s path and so obviously the Hurricane caused damage. However, because an area of considerable economic value to the country, Cuba’s Santiago de Cuba, was in located in the aforementioned storm path and damaged significantly, for example

Hurricanes have affected the Caribbean islands for many centuries but particularly in the 19th century. During the 1840’s Cuba was affected by three hurricanes that all happened within four years of each other in 1842, 1844, and 1846. Many scholars have looked over these hurricanes in Cuba as not really having much of an in depth affect on Cuba’s life and history but just as being hurricanes. But Louis A. Pérez Jr. a professor and scholar, labeled these 19th century hurricanes as a “flash point” to look at Cuba’s history from multiple angles. saw the 1842, 1844, and 1846 hurricanes as being more than just storms by using multiple resources like the Archivo Nacional de Cubaa, Havana, encyclopedias, such as the Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones by David Longshore (New York, 1998), and descriptive chronologies by David L. Niddrie and David M. Ludlow to name a few. By reviewing and using all of these resources, Louis A. Pérez concluded that the 1840’s hurricanes had an effect on agriculture, social relations, and the overall national identity of Cuba.

Saturday, September 9, 2017, Hurricane Irma is raging in and around Florida, and because of the risks of dispatching, rescue workers are not able to respond to 9-1-1 calls. The winds are up to 105 mph and the water is literally being sucked from the gulf shores of Florida by the strong storm. CNN writes in their news article, “Frustrated First Responders Have to Ignore Irma 911 Calls,” reflecting on the struggles of the victims and first responders in the devastating storm.

I personally have not experienced a disaster. However, I have heard about a lot of megadealths from the media. The most recent is Hurricane Matthew. Hurricane Matthew affected the Caribbean, Florida and North Carolina. It is known that hundreds of people have died and over one thousand people remain without houses and clean water in Haiti, four people have died and one million people lost power in Florida and seven people have died, about 760,000 people still remain without power and over 880 people had to be rescued in North Carolina. I am sadden by the destruction that this hurricane has caused. I have a lot of friends in Florida and a lot of family in North Carolina all whom are safe. It took a couple of days to ensure everyone was safe.

From late September to early October, Hurricane Matthew -- which formed as a tropical storm near the Windward Islands on September 28 -- rammed through the Caribbean and along the southeastern coast before it became post-tropical on Sunday, October 9 as it moved away from North Carolina.

Relocating residences and businesses and redirecting projects for the future on places threatened by climate change are also common ways to prevent damage. In New York they have an adaptation plan that uses similar strategies such as the installment of pipes and drain sites because of the flooding and sea level rise. If these plans were to work in Puerto Rico it would be relevant to many other places that face the problems of climate change that occur on the shores and which affect the economy, Places like the rest of the Caribbean, coasts of United States and other island

What risk does hurricane pose to social vulnerable population and how do they prepare? People get more vulnerable when the disaster strike comparing to the power associated with a hurricane. ¬Hurricane Katrina will not be faded easily from people’s memories for a long time, because of the magnitude of the losses.

Hurricane Maria was a devastating tropical storm that decimated the infrastructure of the small, underprivileged island of Puerto Rico. The hearts of nearly every American are filled with sympathy for this travesty. In times of crisis, it becomes surprisingly apparent how much politics affect our everyday lives. “ What Every American Needs to Know about Puerto Rico’s Hurricane Disaster” by Brian Resnick and Eliza Barclay informed us about the situation revolving aid to Puerto Rico as well as their opinions on what the US government “should” be doing.

Recurring hurricanes happen a lot on coast of the United States of America. Rebuilding on the coast is not a good thing. “But when a storm like Sandy tracks over the most heavily populated stretch of land in the western hemisphere, the damage to people and property can be immense” (Walsh). It is very dangerous to rebuild because after all the hard work into putting the new things up after

Hurricane Maria is a category four hurricane that had winds up to 150 miles per hour. And hit Puerto Rico straight on. Maria caused lots of damage, plus causing Puerto Rico to lose all their plumbing and clean water supply. They have no power on the island. Also they are running on a short food supply. Hospitals are on short supply and high demand. And Puerto Rico had not recovered from Hurricane Harvey when it hit the coast.

Nearly 250 miles in diameter along with 3,000 miles traveled, more than 2.5 million were left without power, 546 deaths occurred, 128 were missing, and 439 were injured, with this, Hurricane Matthew was an extraordinarily devastating, category 5, Hurricane. The winds had sustained up to 160 miles per hour, flights were canceled, and evacuations were made mandatory for millions of people that lived along the Southeast Coast. My family and I fell victim to this horrific storm due to an extensive power outage. We had no running water, for the entirety of the following week. We made it through, because of a generator that was given to us, and non-perishable foods.
