内容简介

Hurricanes: What You Need to Know explains in plain terms just what creates hurricanes and causes them to build. Highlighting famous hurricanes, it shows why they strike where they do and how they cause such devastation. It also tells how the scientific centres in Canada and the US collaborate to forecast and track hurricanes. Most important of all, it outlines what to do when hurricanes strike: what to assemble in advance, how to understand and heed warnings, how to prepare your home and family, what to do during the storm, when and how to evacuate, and how to cope with the hazardous aftermath.
