The Impact of Tropical Cyclones
Description
Tropical cyclones devastate people, property, and infrastructure. This program outlines how cyclones are classified across the world and then examines the impact of Hurricane Matthew on the southeastern United States and Haiti in 2016. It compares the strategies that wealthy nations, like the U.S., employ to protect people and property to how the lack of resources in a poorer nation, like Haiti, leaves hurricane victims highly vulnerable to suffering and death.
