Question

essay in precautions for storm

Answer 1

The intense tropical storms are known in different parts of the world by differ­ent names. In the Pacific Ocean, they are called ‘typhoons’, in the Indian Ocean they are called ‘cyclones’ and over North Atlantic, and they are called ‘hurricanes’. Among various natural calamities, tropical cyclones are known to claim a higher share of deaths and destruction world over. Records show that about 80 tropical cyclones form over the globe every year.

India has a vast coast line which is frequently affected by tropical cyclones causing heavy loss of human lives and property. Cyclones occur usually between April and May (called pre-monsoon cyclonic storms) and between October and December (called post-monsoon cy­clonic storms). While cyclonic storms can’t be prevented, the loss of lives and damage to the properties can be mitigated if prompt action is taken after receiving timely warnings.
