Main responses to tropical revolving storms

Evacuation:

• When and where tropical storms hit land can be predicted from RADAR, satellites and aircraft. (National Hurricane Centre in USA track hurricanes this way and predict their path)
• This gives people time to evacuate and protect their homes and businesses 
• However if forecasters have got it wrong then unnecessary evacuations and wastes a lot of money

Planning and Education:

• Future developments can be planned to avoid at risk areas, such as the coast
• Emergency services can train and prepare for disasters 
• Evacuation routes can already be planned, have to ensure the population are aware of these
• Cost effective methods

Building techniques:

• Buildings built to withstand TRS, with reinforced concrete or on stilts to avoid flooding (Gulf Coast of USA built on stilts)
• Flood defences built on rivers and coasts

 Aid:

• Aid sent by the government of NGO's can be very effective, once it has reached the people in need. However getting it to those people in need can be very difficult if there is damaged transport routes or often political problems
