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.

Take shelter in secure locations during the storm.

Check with the registration office or visit the Florida Keys website for information.

Leave the Keys first for safety reasons if a storm threatens.

Seek advice from locals who have lived through storms.

Take measures to protect yourself even if you can't prevent the storm.

this hurricane was one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded.

Confusing directions from authorities

• Perceived racism

• Faith they could ride out the storm

• Poverty and lack of access to transportation

  Ways people have improved hurricane readiness to ensure people are safer for next time is:

• Adjustments in emergency management to improve response and coordination.

• Increased preparedness through defensive measures and resources.

• Enhanced safety and security for the American people.

During hurricane Wanda, at least $200 million dollars of damage was concluded and, as far as I have researched, two people died from storm related causes. People did prepare for hurricane Wanda, though it never touched dry land.

_{"People in Florida prepared for Hurricane Wanda by: Florida leaders made progress to better protect residents, but there is still work to be done.}

_{A recent hurricane prep survey by AAA revealed how Floridians plan for deadly storms. 20 percent of those asked said they do nothing at all to prepare}

_{Risk perception did not significantly influence decisions to prepare for hurricanes.}

_{Communities are trying to figure out how to prepare for increasingly intense storms due to human-caused climate change" (Micrsoft).}

Safety measures the area hit took to improve hurricane readiness and ensure people are safer for the next time include of:

Follow evacuation orders issued by authorities.

Identify levees and dams that may pose hazards.

Learn evacuation routes and find higher ground.

Be prepared and make a plan.

Hurricane Jose Damaged a lot even threatening the Lesser Antilles after the catastrophic damaged caused by Hurricane Irma. Nobody was prepared for this Hurricane it was by surprised this hurricane already accrued in 1999 it was a category 2 with high rainfall and hail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, people did prepare for hurricane Wanda, though the hurricane never reached dry land. The category 5 hurricane caused 200 million dollars' worth of damage without even making landfall. Luckily, no reports of death were confirmed, but the effect from it should have. The hurricane was expected to reach land, though it never did, yet the damages from it might as well been the same as if it would have. Floridians were grateful that the damage stayed at a minimum compared to what it could have been.
