Before a Hurricane. To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures: To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Know your surroundings. Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone.
A hurricane beings over warm ocean water as a low-pressure area, or tropical disturbance. A hurricane draws its energy from the warm, humid air at the ocean's surface. As this air rises and forms clouds, more air is drawn into the system. As with storms systems, winds spiral inward toward the area of low-pressure. Inside the storm are bands of very high winds and heavy rains. Why are hurricanes dangerous? The Result is a storm surge, a dome of water that sweeps across the coast where hurricanes lands. Storm Surges can cause great damage, washing away beaches, destroying buildings along the coast, and eroding the coastlines.
