Disaster preparedness: Hurricanes and tropical cyclones

Although hurricanes can be dangerous killers, planning ahead and being prepared can reduce the chances of injury and major property damage.

Disaster preparedness: Floods and flash floods

Some floods develop slowly, while others develop in just minutes. Being prepared and taking mitigation measures, such as building away from floodplains and elevating homes, can reduce the risk of damage and injuries in a flood.

Disaster preparedness: Landslides and debris flows

Landslides and debris flows are caused by a number of factors, such as earthquakes, heavy rain, volcanic eruptions and poor land management. Because landslides and debris flows occur quickly and with little notice, it is essential to be prepared.
