With
the current increase in number and intensity of hurricanes, a new focus needs to
be placed on the issue of preparedness. Although hurricane-track forecast errors
have been decreasing on the average (i.e., forecasts have been improving), the
accuracy still leaves much to be desired. In addition there are major problems
with hurricane intensity forecasts. Even if residents have perfect track and
intensity forecasts, however, they still need to understand how to respond to
the danger posed by an approaching hurricane. Obviously, there are certain cases
when evacuation is the only effective answer such as sub-standard housing
(mobile homes, huts, etc.) which would be easily destroyed by the winds and
areas affected by deadly storm surge (or even rain produced) flooding.
Well-built structures still need the added protection of hurricane shutters,
however. Without shutters, substantial damage can still be experienced even if
the main structure is not affected due to window breakage and the intrusion of
the hurricane winds and rain into the building. Well-designed shutters can
result in substantially reduced damages. There are a number of commercial
shutters on the market. It is important for the public to become informed about
which types of shutters are the most effective. Obviously, the more effective
types of shutters need advanced preparations. It is oftentimes difficult or
impossible to obtain the materials or install the shutters after a hurricane
watch or warning is already in place.
