How can we better prepare for natural disasters? | Inside Story

Hurricane Ian could be the deadliest storm to ever hit Florida, according to US President Joe Biden. It lashed the state with winds of up to 250 kilometres an hour. Researchers say climate change is warming our oceans, creating more severe storms.
The warming planet has led to intense weather events across the globe, from floods to wildfires and heatwaves.
Can we improve the way we prepare for them?

When extreme weather events are predicted there needs to be militant roll-outs. Scalable solutions that resemble portable and resilient barriers can direct water to areas where it can be managed and processed.

Training community response teams also helps.

i will help answer your title. Don't live in flood-prone areas, don't live in forested fire-prone areas, don't live in drought-prone areas. Don't live near the coast in cyclone or hurricane areas. If you do live in these areas don't live there. Don't live next to a volcano. If the area has a history of earthquakes don't live there either.

Hurricanes are more violent, now, because of Global warming that Humans created. Ian is currently ravishing South Carolina, US. It's going to be expensive to clean up all the flooding in Florida, too. Very expensive.
