Hurricanes, get prepared !
Living in France, near Paris, we have the chance not to be exposed to natural hazards. But on TV we can see, almost every year, geological disasters, affecting people from all
around the world. Sometimes it can also affect us indirectly, that was the case with the Icelandic volcanic eruption of 2010 that prevented some of my students to go on holidays. Since
then, every year, we study a natural disaster that has just made the headlines.
This year, they were amazed that a city as New York can be struck so violently by a hurricane. Understanding the formation of a hurricane and the consequences of such an event
made them think about how to educate people and warn them in case of a hurricane.
History teaches that a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. By knowing the vulnerability and what actions people
should take, it is possible to reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster.
