Hurricane Nate from the year 2017 was a category 1 hurricane caused $787 million dollars' worth of damage. Hurricane Nate caused 48 deaths even though people were prepared. People should prepare for hurricanes because preparing for hurricanes is crucial because they pose significant risks, including strong winds, flooding, and potential loss of property and preparedness can minimize the impact of these devastating storms. The people wanted to go somewhere with less chance of getting hurt than staying unprepared and upscaling the risks. To enhance hurricane readiness and safety in Cartersville, GA, the area should focus on evacuation route planning, building reinforcement, emergency kit preparation, and community awareness.

Hurricane Katrina

It happened in 2005, in late August. It was a category 5 storm. It caused 125 billion dollars in damages, and there were 1,392 deaths. 1 million people were evacuated / misplaced because of the storm. They evacuated because of the dangers of hurricane. Another reason that people evacuated is because it was a category 5 storm. Also, it was the 3rd strongest hurricane, so it was important to evacuate away from it.

AFTER THE STORM

After the storm, they took a lot of new precautions. For example, walking cautiously and not leaving children unattended. This was important because in case of another storm, they needed to have their children unattended.

I chose to research Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina occurred late August in 2005. Hurricane Katrina caused 1,392 fatalities and damages estimated to be around 125 million dollars. When Katrina hit no one was prepared for its destructiveness. Reasons why people were not prepared are by getting confusing directions from the authorities, perceiving racism, having faith that they could ride out the storm, poverty and lack of access to transportation. People have improved hurricane readiness to ensure people are safer for next time is by getting to adjust in emergency management to be able to improve response and coordination, increasing preparedness through defensive measures and resources, and lastly people have enhanced safety and security for the people of America. Overall, Hurricane Katrina was a dangerous natural disaster that has made a huge mark in history.

Category: 5

Repairs: $108 Billion

Deaths: 1,833

Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane. The hurricane hit New Orland's on August 29th, 2005. It costed $108 Billion dollars in repairs. One of the reasons it was so bad is because New Orland's didn't have time to prepare for it. The reason why is because it originally wasn't going to hit New Orland's, so they weren't ready for it. Also, most families didn't have anywhere to go or have any family near them.

Hurricane Katrina was a devastating category 5 which happened in 2005 of August 29. Hurricane Katrina caused catastrophic damage, particularly in New Orleans, Louisiana, where levee failures led to widespread flooding. The storm resulted in nearly 2,000 deaths and displaced over a million people along the Gulf Coast. The economic impact was profound, with damages estimated at over $160 billion, making it the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. In the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina's landfall, authorities issued mandatory evacuation orders for New Orleans and surrounding areas. Many residents heeded these warnings, but a significant number remained due to factors such as lack of transportation, financial resources, or awareness of the storm's severity. The city's public transportation system was inadequate for mass evacuations, leaving those without personal vehicles stranded. Additionally, some residents underestimated the storm's potential impact, leading them to stay behind. The failure of the levee system caught many off guard, highlighting shortcomings in disaster preparedness and response. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, significant efforts have been made to enhance hurricane preparedness and safety in the affected regions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers undertook extensive projects to strengthen and reinforce levee systems to withstand stronger storms. Evacuation plans have been revised to address transportation challenges, including provisions for those without personal vehicles. Public awareness campaigns have been launched to educate residents about evacuation routes and emergency procedures. The establishment of emergency shelters with adequate supplies aims to accommodate displaced populations during disasters. Additionally, the development of early warning systems and improved communication networks ensures timely dissemination of information to the public.

Hurricane Katrina, which struck in August 2005, was one of the most devastating storms in U.S. history, reaching Category 5 status at its peak. It caused an estimated $108 billion in damage and resulted in the tragic loss of 1,833 lives. Despite early warnings, many people, especially in New Orleans, failed to evacuate, either due to a lack of trust in authorities, uncertainty about the severity of the storm, or socioeconomic factors that made evacuation difficult for lower-income residents. The evacuation process was disorganized and unequal, with transportation and shelter options insufficient for those who needed them most, which caused confusion and left many stranded when the storm hit. In response to the devastation, New Orleans and surrounding areas have made significant improvements to their hurricane readiness. The city invested heavily in upgrading levee systems and flood defenses, ensuring stronger protections against future storm surges. Emergency response protocols were revamped to improve coordination among federal, state, and local agencies, and evacuation plans were revised to better accommodate vulnerable populations, including those with limited access to transportation. Public awareness campaigns were also launched to help residents understand how to prepare for future disasters, and more emphasis was placed on making evacuation orders clear, trustworthy, and accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. These changes were vital in increasing preparedness and ensuring that future storms could be handled more effectively, minimizing the loss of life and damage.

Hurricane Iwa

Hurricane Iwa first started developing on November 19, 1982, and became an actual hurricane on November 23, 1982. It was not a very bad hurricane, only being Category 1 at 90 MPH.

Hurricane Iwa had a few casualties, only killing 4 people. One person was killed directly by the storm, while 3 others were killed indirectly. probably because of the floods.

People were not fully prepared for Hurricane Iwa. This is because it was said to not be as powerful as other hurricanes. This made people think they didn't need to prepare as much as they usually did. But the hurricane did cause pretty bad destruction, and power outages. Because of this, the people decided to prepare more for hurricanes.

Since people underestimated Hurricane Iwa, (Even though it was only Category 1), calls were made to change government safety protocols. After a while, a fund called The Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund was created. This made sure that people affected by hurricanes would be helped afterwards, there were also a few other changed protocols, but there is little information on them.

First, people kept their attention on local evacuation newscast. They also followed evacuation procedures from local police. Another example is federal law enforcement officers assisted in rescues. They also secured facilities and shelters. Some safety measures that people are taking into consideration after the hurricane is by closing off flooded interstates. They also constructed levees and dams. Also, put community evacuation plans in place. Then, they taught people these evacuation plans so that they will be more prepared for the next hurricane (if there is one. Also, the cities and communities planned better health and wellness so that they have food and water for survival. They also needed more batteries and flashlights for people to get to safety during a hurricane. Hopefully, Hurricane Florence will not affect the communities hit, and maybe they will be better prepared next time. Also, (fun fact), Hurricane Florence caused snakes to escape from the local zoo. This made the illusion that it was raining snakes! The snake that were "raining" were venomous making this hurricane a bigger threat.

Hurricane Charley:

Hurricane Charley hit on August 13, 2004, in Florida and is a category 4 hurricane. Hurricane Charley caused 377,000 buildings to collapse and 16.9 billion dollah bills in damage and caused 10 deaths in total. The people of Florida were not ready for Hurricane Charley because it turned east last minute. Most of the country of Florida did prepare for the hurricane-force winds due to the rapid intensification of the hurricane at the last second. People prepared for the storm because the rapid winds caused so much damage (16.9 billion dollars in damage) that if they stayed in the path of the hurricane, more people would have probably died. People prepared by boarding up windows and doors, stocking up on essential supplies, and following evacuation orders. The rapid forces of the hurricane easily knocked down houses, making them HAVE to board up houses and stock up for survival. The area hit by Hurricane Charley has better improved safety precautions by building shelters that can sustain wind speeds up to 200-mph and that are safe from flooding. There have also been improvement in operation centers, storm prediction technology, and evaluating tidal surge.
