Hurricanes pose significant risks, including flooding, power outages, and infrastructure damage. Coastal communities along the eastern seaboard and Gulf Coast are particularly vulnerable. Contaminated water supplies during floods can lead to health hazards, emphasizing the need for clean water storage and filtration systems. Power outages may last for days, making battery-powered lighting and non-perishable food essential for survival. The increasing intensity of storms, as reported by NOAA, underscores the importance of proactive preparation to mitigate risks to life and property.
