1ctq. If you had to evacuate your home and go to a nearby public
shelter, where would it be? If you had to evacuate your home and travel
at least 160 km (~100 mi.) from where you live, where would you go? What
would you take with you in either case? What problems might you or your
community face in an evacuation (e.g., people in poor health or with
disabilities, people without a means of transportation, visitors, pets,
domesticated animals)? What would be your concerns? Get solution
2ctq. The southern tip of Florida has a very large area of marsh and swampland—the Everglades—and a large lake, Lake Okeechobee. Based on your understanding of how a hurricane works, what effect would these wetlands have on a hurricane that was tracking across southern Florida? What effect would the hurricane have on Lake Okeechobee? Get solution
3ctq. What conditions required for hurricane development could explain why hurricanes generally do not form between 5° N and 5° S of the equator, or in the southeastern Pacific and South Atlantic Oceans? Get solution
4ctq. Obtain a topographic map (see Appendix C) for an ocean beach you visit or for an urban area along the Atlantic shore or Gulf Coast. Shade or color the area that would be affected by a 5 m (~20 ft.) storm surge. Examine your completed map and assess the damage that would occur, the routes people would take for evacuation, and land-use restrictions you would recommend for future development. Get solution
