Taken down at Spring Lake New Jersey on September 3, 2010. Hurricane Earl caused very big waves but didn’t amount to much at the Jersey shore.

I need detailed answers and citations. The answers must be internationally based. I will be picking a best answer.
How do hurricanes affect the suppliers?
How do hurricanes affect the distributors?
How do hurricanes affect the consumers?
How do hurricanes change supply and demand?
What ways can companies benefit from these natural disasters?
What companies are already implementing strategies to benefit and help provide disaster relief?
How do hurricanes affect the shipping routes?
I have been researching this, and found other sources were needed.

Within the next 2 years I am planning on moving. Currently I am considering my options on where would be ideal, and where I would like to live. Currently I am on looking at Florida because of the nice weather. But then I thought about hurricanes. How often do hurricanes occur and what is the severity of most of them?

A few of the best video clips from the StormStock Katrina Super Reel capture the storm at its worst. Fierce winds and catastrophic storm surge pound the Gulf Coast region in one of America’s biggest disasters. Formats: DV, HD video and 35mm motion picture film. Please do not copy.

This part of what i read confused me,

Factors Influencing Gas Markets in 2006

1. Extreme effects on supply (hurricanes) and demand (January weather)

2. Apparent responses to price by both supply and demand

3. Anticipation of oil prices and summer weather

Rory Storm & the Hurricanes was one of the first and most popular groups in the Liverpool club circuit. Question: Is that RINGO STARR playing the drums???

Footage from Hurricane Ivan. Ivan made land fall on September 16, 2004 as a Category 3 storm. It was the 10th most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the 6th costliest to the United States.

1. Joe wants to see if it is true that hurricane induce labor in pregnant women. He collects data from several hospitals for births during the months of June-November (hurricane season). He compares this data with the dates that hurricanes came withing a 100 mile radius of his town. He graphs his results as the average number of births on hurricane days compared to the average number on non-hurricane days during the hurricane season months.

2. Josh wants to find out if higher temperatures cause mosquito larvae to develop more quickly. He sets up 6 tanks of mosquito larvae in the lab. Each tank has water of a different temperature ranging from 50-100 degrees Celsius. He graphs the number of adult mosquitoes in each tank after a 2 week period.

I know this year the Gulf Coast had more hurricanes than normal, just like in 2005. I recently heard that that predicts it will be a colder than normal winter. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I really hope it is because I want it to snow here in Houston again. I can’t remeber what the winter of 05 was like, but I don’t remember it being that cold. Can anyone tell me if it may be colder this year or refer me to a good website that talks about this theory? Thanks!

I honestly think that media is overhyping it, and the worst that will happen (Insh’allah) is that a tree will fall down, but Incase we are wrong, would Life Jackets be good idea? Gice me a Mock Supply list I should have in my bag…

And why are Candles discouraged during hurricanes, I know they are but why, my friends are stocked up on candles and flashlights….

Ok it looks like a hurrican is coming to Florida I live in Miami so on what level in hurricanes do I have to evacuate it’s looks like it’s a 3 do I have to leave I have stutters so do I Every window and terris has a shutter so do ibleave if yes can u give me a place for pets like a shelter for pets while there is a hurricane

I have a standard double-hung window, with a window-unit air conditioner. Its wedged in there well enough for normal use, but I live in South Florida, and so hurricanes are a concern. My intention is to cut 5/8th or 3/4 inch plywood to fit the window, but to fit around the window unit. How else should the window unit be strapped or otherwise secured? FYI, my walls are CBS, so tapcons are an option, and its a small window, about 30X36. Points for best answer!
I’m not removing my air conditioners because a hurricane is coming. If I don’t have them back up and running about 5 minutes after the power goes out, the house’ll hit 95 degrees and never cool down. And generally the power is out for weeks.
To further clarify…there is such a thing as a generator?

I wonder what makes people in Florida live in Florida, inspite of the hurricanes, storms and continous loss of life? There must be a core driving factor…?

I was paranoid enough to the point i wrote the CDC, and asked if the whole thing is true. I remember hearing something to the response i got, but was not 100% sure. SO if any of you happen to be worried about if this thing is true then here go what i got:

Thank you for your submission to CDC-INFO. In response to your comments regarding if the zombie apocalypse information on the CDC website is true, we can provide you with the following information.

Zombies are huge in pop culture right now and garner a lot more attention than our regular preparedness topics. We are using them as a metaphor though for serious events like floods, hurricanes, and other disasters that people dont typically talk about until its too late. The purpose of CDC’s blog post was simply to get people thinking about emergency preparedness and the basic concepts: get a kit, make a plan, be informed.

For more information about emergency preparedness, please visit the CDC website:

I live in South Florida, after the hurricanes of the last couple of years and other factors, I have become extremely claustrophobic. I cannot even be in an elevator anymore for more than 2 floors. The thought of being behind plywood boards for days on end, totally freaks me out; so I am looking for alternatives that are 1) inexpensive, 2) protective against flying objects and 3) allow light into the house. I have come up with the idea of vinyl lattice board, they meet all 3 of my requirements. I have looked into lexan panels and they are k for my home. (the dealers will do an all or nothing install).

Anyone else have any other low cost ideas? or suggestions?
in response to my 2 answers so far:
1st - My windows are rollouts, so a permanent covering is out, or I wouldn’t be able to open them at all; and 2ndly, I can’t move, I just moved in there a month ago. I am a Florida native, I love a good storm, it isn’t the storm I have problems with, its the dark enclosed space. And hurricanes don’t always come at night.

If vinyl lattice is impact resistant to 150 psi, why wouldn’t they work? Please validate your response.

can u help me pls
my H.W. is to write this news story in a childish version and i have no clues how to do this, so can u pls write it for me or give me some clues how to write that.

"The horrors of Haiti’s earthquake continue to unfold. The quake itself
killed perhaps 100,000 people. The inability to organise rapid relief is killing tens
of thousands more. More than 1mn people are exposed to hunger and disease
and, with the rain and hurricane seasons approaching, are vulnerable to
further hazards.
Even an economy as impoverished as Haiti’s is a complex system dependent
on trade between rural and urban areas, transport, electricity, port services,
and government functions. Haiti’s economy worked badly in the past, and was
still reeling from four hurricanes in 2008 when the earthquake struck.
The fact that the quake hit the capital and demolished every centre of
social activity, destroyed the systems upon which daily urban life depends. Millions
of people are now without livelihoods and the means for survival.
The first stage in an effective response, the first three or four weeks, must focus on rescuing survivors and stabilising supplies of food, water, medical services, and shelter for the population. Neither Haiti nor the world was properly equipped for this, and tens of thousands will die needlessly. The world’s emergency-response systems – especially for impoverished countries in zones that are vulnerable to earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts, hurricanes, and floods – needs upgrading.
After just a month or so, the emergency phase will give way to a decades-long struggle for recovery and long-term development. Haiti must avoid a prolonged period of tent cities in which people are mere refugees. But where should displaced people – numbering hundreds of thousands, and perhaps more than a million – live? How should they be provided with food, water, health care, and shelter? And how can they begin to contribute to the revival of basic economic life?
The economy will have a simple structure in the coming years, with most economic activities focused in five sectors: smallholder, or peasant, agriculture; reconstruction; port services and light manufacturing; local small-scale trade; and public services, including healthcare and education. The key challenge is to support these five sectors in order to combine short-term relief with long-term reconstruction and development.
First, special efforts should be made to boost peasant agriculture and rural communities. This will enable hundreds of thousands of displaced people to return to their village communities and live from farming. With fertiliser, improved seeds, small-scale irrigation, rapid training and extension services, and low-cost storage silos, Haiti’s food production could double or triple in the next few years, sustaining the country and building a new rural economy.
Reconstruction – of roads, buildings, and water and sanitation systems – will employ tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of Haitian construction workers, and boost the regeneration of towns. The World Food Programme can help peasant farmers to produce more food in the countryside and then purchase the food to use in food-for-work programs oriented to construction projects.
Haiti’s infrastructure was meager before the earthquake (hence the shocking mortality rate), and most of that is now rubble. Large-scale capital investment will also be needed to re-equip the ports and to re-establish a power grid.
Recovery will also require re-establishing at least a small-scale manufacturing sector. Haiti, like its next-door neighbour, the Dominican Republic, once created jobs in port facilities, including production of clothing, baseballs, and other light-manufacturing items. Those jobs disappeared in the 1990’s, when the US imposed a trade embargo on Haiti as part of an effort to re-establish democracy. Democracy returned, but the economy was destroyed.
Other countries have risen from the rubble of natural disaster and war, and Haitican do the same over the next five to 10 years. For the next decade, however, and especially for the next five years, there will be no escape from the need to rely on international financing, and mainly grant assistance, to finance the rebuilding effort. The world has spent heavily in Haiti before, but very ineffectively. This time, it must be done right.
A clear strategy is needed to bolster the key sectors discussed above. Each sector requires a five-year recovery strategy with a clear budget and clear lines of partnership and responsibility linking the Haitian government, non-governmental organisations, and institutional donors, especially governments and international agencies.
The second key to successful reconstruction is to harmonise the international response. There are probably 40 or more official organisations from abroad, if not more, already engaged in the recovery effort. In addition, there are hundreds, if not tho

Seriously, it should be common knowledge amongst the moderately well-informed populous as to why there’s an arbitrary fluctuation in gas prices — ESPECIALLY that (to me) they appear to have "magically" dropped when America needs it most.

Well — I got news for you gas co.s…we ALWAYS need it, okay?

And spare me the platitudes of a "supply & demand" lesson in any answers to this question, please (or hurricanes, or the recession — none of that’s changed enough to justify this drop).

I want to find out if there’s someone out there who ACTUALLY knows why "the powers that be" are able to knock three dollars off the price right now, and not back in the summer…or always, for that matter!
PS: This guy, "Headtater" (4 answers down) is the prototype for what I’m talking about.

Of course I’m happy gas prices are lower! I’m trying to ascertain the cause behind the drop so we can KEEP it that way…brainiac.

Some people…all opinion, no solution.

we are thinking about moving to Hollywood FL and i was wondering how often that area is hit by the hurricanes.

My family and I want to Disney this summer. I’m afraid that there will be a hurricane while we’re there (paranoid muchhh?! xD) and I want to know the worst months for hurricanes down in Florida. Also, my family wants to go in August, but I hear that there’s a lot of hurricanes in August. So what are the chances that there will be a hurricane in August? And when should we go?

Thanks in advance xo
