What impact precautions can be implemented to reduce the impact of a

tropical cyclone?
Evacuation plans ,by establishing evacuation routes and shelters for residents in high-risk
areas. They can also implement early warning systems, by implementing effective
communication channels to alert people about approaching cyclones. Reinforcing
infrastructure, constructing buildings, bridges, and roads to withstand strong winds and
flooding.
Securing loose objects, removing or securing outdoor furniture, signs, and debris that could
become projectiles in high winds. Stocking up supplies, having emergency kits with food,
water, medications, and other essentials. Securing property by boarding up windows,
reinforcing doors, and securing roofs to minimize damage. Community preparedness,
conducting drills and training sessions to educate residents on cyclone preparedness and
response.
Coastal protection measures like building sea walls, dunes, and mangrove barriers to reduce
storm surge impact. Insurance coverage, ensuring property and crop insurance coverage to
facilitate recovery after a cyclone. Post- cyclone response teams for search and rescue
operations, medical aid , and restoring utilities.
Local governments implemented early warning systems, evacuation plans. In anticipation of
tropical cyclone Freddy ,measures such as the suspension of schools, public transport and
evacuations were taken to mitigate the cyclone’s impact. Local residents were advised to
secure property, stock emergency supplies, and adhere to evacuation orders. Community
awareness and preparedness initiatives were crucial in minimizing the cyclone’s human and
material tool.
 Global warming has the potential the potential to increase the frequency of tropical
cyclones. As ocean temperatures rise, more energy is available to fuel these storms, leading
to more frequent and intense cyclones. Additionally , changes in atmospheric circulation
patterns due to global warming can alter the distribution and frequency of tropical
cyclones, potentially leading to shifts in their regularity. However, the exact impact can vary
depending on regional climate dynamics and other factors.

Tropical cyclones can have devastating effects, causing widespread destruction to

infrastructure, homes, and ecosystems. They can also result in the loss of life and
displacement of communities. The economic impact of tropical cyclones can be significant ,
with costs, associated with rebuilding, emergency response , and lost of productivity.
Additionally, the long term effects of cyclones, such as water contamination, crop damage,
and increased vulnerability to subsequent disasters, can further exacerbate their impact on
communities. It’s crucial for governments and communities to prioritize disaster
preparedness, mitigation measures, and climate resilience to minimize the impact of
tropical cyclones.
