I have lived in P.R., a tropical island, until two years ago when I moved to the US. Hurricanes in my memory, when growing up, were school time off. It was also seen as time to spend with family, watching the wind move the trees and rain fall. Having a strict diet due to galactosemia, I didn’t find it enjoyable eating canned meat and crackers. So far P.R. has been lucky, almost twenty years of avoiding even a category one force hurricane. Until now, hurricanes seem to change their path up to two hundred miles away. Many answered last minute prayers disintegrating into tropical storms with little or no impact. Like in P.R, society first tries to lower anxiety levels by not watching the news.

Being prepared for a hurricane is not just the responsibility of first responders like firefighters, law enforcement, and EMS. An entire community from one individual or a family all the way up to state and federal government personnel need to work together and do their part and everybody has their own role to play. It is very important for communities to have strong collaborative planning teams. These teams are made up of governmental, nongovernmental, private, and public organizations and agencies that need to be integrated and share information and also trained together during the planning phase to increase the successfulness of the response to a disaster. Having educated and informed citizens is key for a prepared community, for example they can create evacuation and family reunification plans, compile disaster kits, and engage in trainings and neighborhood preparedness activities so that during an emergency they are able to help themselves, their families, neighbors, and friends. Another way to lessening the effects of a hurricane is to implement mitigation
Purpose: The key aspect of serving others from the effects of Hurricane Matthew will allow families who have no home to be provided with food and water. According to authorities flooding in North Carolina from Hurricane Matthew has caused $1.5 billion in damage to 100,000 homes, businesses and government buildings, authorities estimate. To elaborate more many people are seeking to help North Carolina recover, so I would like to make a website for donations and get WECT news to present it on commercials. Also, people who donate we will ask for their email and we will send each one a personal thank you letter. This service of serving others will allow people like the Red Cross to focus on more
Having lived in the southern coastal region of Texas I have seen many of the beauties that nature offers, but many of these beauties also bring complicated needs to those they effect. I've discovered the power and magnitude of lightning storms I've been entranced by the soft crashing of the waves on the coast but the most beautiful and perhaps the most devastating phenomena I have ever viewed are hurricanes. Hurricanes have swept through my home front on many occasions, these powerful giants drift through towns decimating all in their paths breaking trees, ripping roofs off houses, and bringing with them a flood like no other. The high water and gale force winds that comprise these natural wrecking balls can cripple families and in my community
As our city grieves in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, a category four hurricane that hit Houston as a tropical storm, our nation is left battling economic and social concerns that will impact the future of both Texas and America as a whole. As many areas of Houston are transitioning from relief to rebuilding, our politicians and local leaders need to take hard look at the best path moving forward. Despite tensions between Texan politicians and the national government, it is to our benefit that we turn to federal funding to provide for our people. Though we are “Houston Strong” and were able to act quickly in helping our neighbors immediately following the devastation, it is imperative that we work cohesively with the national government to make Texas stronger for the long-run. As we begin moving forward we need to ask ourselves, “Do we want to rebuild sooner or better?”
A way a person can prepare for a category 5 hurricane can be in many different types of ways. For example gathering supplies, creating an emergency plan for your family, evacuating if it's recommended or mandatory.

Additionally people should think ahead of time before a hurricane comes. Therefore safety comes first during a hurricane and people should do whatever it takes to survive.
Living in Florida there are many things to be worried about from alligators, hot heat, and the most important hurricanes. The first hurricane I experienced was in the first two months of me living in Florida. I moved here from New York and I had no idea what to expect when I heard that a hurricane was coming. It was like nothing I had experienced before, seeing a tree pulled from the ground by only water and wind was a devastating experience that I was something I did not expect to see. After the hurricane, my dad went to the store and bought as much; canned food, water bottles, candles, flashlights and batteries he could find to make sure that just in case another hurricane hit we would be prepared. After the hurricane, I started to wonder about better ways on how to prepare for another hurricane. Especially, living in Florida there are

Albert Einstein once said, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

I have this ticket in my hand and to the outside world that is what it looks like-- just a ticket. To me, however, this ticket means so much more. This ticket is a key. This ticket will open the door for me to help those people who are in need. This ticket will illustrate for me why it is important to think of others before yourself in a world where it is so easy to be egocentric.
In today’s world, there has been one disaster or another, and hurricanes are one of those disasters that always happens. But, for one reason or another we are never prepared or understand the danger of any type of hurricane over a category one. Most of us have been through many hurricanes, like this learner who has lived in Miami, Fla. for over 30 years, and experienced her last hurricane which was Hurricane Andrew. Warnings are always given, first responders are trained to all ways be on alert, and FEMA is supposed to be ready to jump in once the storm has done its damage. But we can never be prepared, because hurricanes are unpredictable, and can become deadly for citizens and create millions of dollars in damages. Within this post we will discuss Hurricane Katrina, preparedness and Emergency management before and after the disaster.
