Sandy's Selfies
Awareness is Needed
Why you should be cautious
Hurricanes are devastating. People have gone without homes and power for weeks. They destroy the environment, flood towns, and destroy commercial and industry. We can prepare for this by having more people evacuated and more storm shelters. Build commercial buildings more reinforced and have structures built on higher ground to prevent flooding.
