Hurricane In The Caribbean

Over the past decade, the world has experienced more natural disaster than people can count. Floods, mudslides, earthquakes, and raging fires are just a few of the events that have stripped people away from their families, homes, and possessions. The deadliest of these natural disasters are hurricanes. Extremely strong winds mixed with large waves can cause enormous damage, taking months, even years for towns to recover. Hurricane Katrina left millions of people without homes and families torn apart. Hurricane Sandy demolished the Jersey coast, leaving years of repair work behind. The most recent and powerful hurricane that surfaced is Hurricane Maria. A level five hurricane, Hurricane Maria ripped straight through the United States territory of Puerto Rico. The island lost power, supplies

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.

According to dosomething.org around 1,836 people died from Hurricane Katrina. From the research I did I think we should evacuate Gavelston because my research says that Rita will be a Category 5 hurricane and so was Katrina and she killed that many people. Other hurricanes have also created much damage in the past and we don’t want people getting stuck and hurt from this. Although people think that isn’t that bad and we can stay in our homes I think we should evacuate.

their lives in Hurricane Katrina. Also about 1,500 lost their in Louisiana. Also 230 lost their lives in Mississippi. That’s one reason how Hurricane Katrina was dangerous to the U.S.

Hurricane Andrew, some may say it was the worst hurricane ever to make landfall on US soil. In my research I have found that andrew was the worst for the 90’s time period. In the 90’s the people had very poor storm shelters for such a horrific storm a lot of people died because of this.

Firstly, approximately 1,300 people died in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. It is considered one of the most deadly and embarrassing events in American history due to the amount of destruction of the hurricane, the insufficient planning before and after

Vicious hurricanes tear communities down to their foundations, leaving victims with a huge responsibility to reconstruct and dispose of the deceased. But not just in stories like Their Eyes Were Watching God, but in reality.

Cuba lies entirely within the tropics and, as already noted, there are rainy and dry seasons. The most important weather consideration in Cuba is that the island lies directly in the path of topical hurricanes as well as less severe tropical storms, many of which have devastated the island; hurricanes are most likely to affect Cuba in September and October. The hurricane of November 9, 1932, known locally as the 1932 Camagüey Hurricane was probably the most devastating of all, resulting in the loss of over 3,000 lives, though the actual death toll was almost certainly higher given the primitive communications available in Cuba at that time (Cuba Hurricanes.org, 2008). This was the greatest natural disaster ever to befall the island, with the town of Santa Cruz del Sur being utterly devastated with the known loss of 2,870

In Chapter 12 the remains of the hurricane are brought to the surface. The community lost the nature that surrounds them and their families lives. Esch’s childhood was changed by this hurricane. Katrina brought the family together through the loss of possessions, which create a place to store your memories and sentimental items. Memories for Randall were physically taken away but not mentally. An acknowledgment and acceptance was brought to old situations with Esch and Daddy. Hope was shown through the loss of China. The indomitability of the Bois community after Katrina shows the strength of the community when brought together.

Hurricanes are one of the hardest natural disasters to recover from. Hurricane Maria that happened in Puerto Rico is a prime example of how much of a struggle it is to get through a hurricane. The reason behind the hurricane is global warming. Since the event happened there have been many people who are being pushed out of their homes because of the economic crisis. Jobs were hard to come by even before the hurricane but became worse because of it. Another problem that is arising is that since people are leaving in large numbers the debt that Puerto Rico has will now become harder to repay. Not only are natural disasters the main reason why people are migrating but climate change in general. Migration is starting to become a customary thing

Safety plays a big role in hurricanes. I want our town to be safe so I chose to evacuate the city. What I know right now is that hurricane Katrina was a Category 2 hurricane and was very destructive. Some might say that there would be some survivors. I think that there will be the majority of the population that will survive if we leave. Since Katrina was a Category 3 and Rita is a Category 5 we should leave and we will be safer that way money is also a factor

In today’s world, there has been one disaster or another, and hurricanes are one of those disasters that always happens. But, for one reason or another we are never prepared or understand the danger of any type of hurricane over a category one. Most of us have been through many hurricanes, like this learner who has lived in Miami, Fla. for over 30 years, and experienced her last hurricane which was Hurricane Andrew. Warnings are always given, first responders are trained to all ways be on alert, and FEMA is supposed to be ready to jump in once the storm has done its damage. But we can never be prepared, because hurricanes are unpredictable, and can become deadly for citizens and create millions of dollars in damages. Within this post we will discuss Hurricane Katrina, preparedness and Emergency management before and after the disaster.

The problem in the Puerto Rico, at least the south, is that industries are located in the coast. Back in the days, they used the Caribbean as a disposal source for all the hazardous waste. Many of our south beaches are still contaminated from these old events during the industrialization era. The bad thing was that Hurricanes were also dispersing all the contaminants all over the place. The Metro area in San Juan has a lot of businesses, and man-made building. Yes a lot of flooding happens during hurricanes but is not because the sea is rising, is because of the mountains and water running down the watersheds. Thanks for your

When was the last time you or your family were affected by the path of a hurricane? How was your experience? Some hurricanes can leave devastation, but it can be more dangerous if you don’t prepare and expose your family to the hazards during the landfall and aftermath. To be fully prepared in the event of a and have ways of staying informed and keep family entertained to avoid anxiety hurricane you must have an emergency evacuation plan. Gather essential supplies, protect one’s home, and have ways of staying informed and keep the family entertained to avoid anxiety or panic attacks.

Cuba's susceptible natural hazard consists of hurricanes. Although, hurricanes are the main natural hazard Cuba suffers with, it later consist with droughts and fires. Hurricanes, cause numerous problems for Cuba. Strong rains and winds are problematic, as they cause numerous issues. After severe storms, landslides occur as well as coastal floods. While these natural disasters can't be contained, the community of Cuba really suffers. After, these natural disasters occur, communities are damaged.
