planning,predicting and protecting from tropical storms

Predicting Tropical Storm

• Use satellites to monitor storm formation and track movement.

• Use radar to detect rainfall and wind speeds as storms approach land.

• Use computer models to forecast the path, intensity, and impact of storms.

• Early warnings help communities prepare or evacuate.

Planning for Tropical Storms

• Create evacuation routes and safe shelters for people in vulnerable areas.

• Prepare emergency services (hospitals, fire, rescue) for increased demand.

• Run public awareness campaigns to educate people on storm safety.

• Use land use planning to avoid building homes in high-risk flood zones.

Protecting Against Tropical Storms

• Restore natural barriers like mangrove forests to absorb storm energy.

• Enforce building regulations to ensure houses can withstand strong winds and flooding.

• Encourage people to prepare emergency kits and have insurance for damages.

• Build sea walls and flood barriers to reduce coastal flooding (e.g., Thames Barrier).
