Hurricanes pose significant risks to human health, infrastructure, and economies. Strong winds can destroy homes, businesses, and agricultural assets, as seen during Hurricane Idalia in 2023, which caused severe damage to Florida's agriculture. Heavy rainfall can lead to flash flooding, as demonstrated by Hurricane Olivia in 2018, which caused extensive damage in Maui and Honolulu. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable to storm surges and heavy surf, which can inundate infrastructure and disrupt industries like shipping and fisheries. Even hurricanes that do not make landfall, such as Hurricane Marie in 2014, can cause significant damage through high waves and coastal erosion. Additionally, ex-typhoons, like Typhoon Merbok in 2022, can transition into mid-latitude storms and impact regions far from the tropics, such as Alaska.
