Informing the public on the rationale of why their water is unsafe is important in helping them understand the necessity of boiling it before use to prevent illness. Also informing them of where they can obtain a safe water supply is crucial. The availability of temporary shelters and housing is also important in the first hours and days following the storm since many people may have had to leave their homes due to flooding, loss of power, or structural damage.

    As this hurricane season in Florida is supposed to be the strongest in four years, the treat of inland flooding increases. The biggest threat for coastal buildings is wave run up. High winds in storms pushes much water than usual on beaches, which is called a surge. On top of the high water, waves crash into land causing the wave run up.
