Dear Editor

Climate change and Hurricanes

Climate change can influence the impact of hurricanes by increasing the intensity and decreasing the speed at which they travel. This will result in more physical damage and mortality.

A warmer sea surface, rise in sea levels and change in atmosphere warming due to climate change are the contributing factors for the origin and Impect severity of hurricanes.

To prevent the worst impacts of hurricanes, communities in both coastal and inland areas need to become more resilient, along with the human contributions to mitigate climate change at all levels including in their activities of daily living.
