hurricane-prone areas
Hurricane-prone areas are regions that frequently experience hurricanes, which are powerful tropical storms characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall. These areas are typically located in warm ocean waters, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. States like Florida, Texas, and Louisiana are often affected due to their coastal locations.
The risk of hurricanes is highest during the hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30 in the Atlantic. Communities in these regions often prepare for potential storms by developing emergency plans, building resilient infrastructure, and educating residents about safety measures to minimize damage and protect lives.
