A hurricane is a storm that is associated with violent winds that come with a circular movement. Due to the rain, thunder, and lightning that comes with it, flooding could occur. When this happens, the government deploys:

  • The National Guard to provide protection for residents against crime that might occur and for relief administration.
  • The Public Health departments to provide medical care.
  • The American Red Cross to provide interim medical care.
  • The Medical Reserve Corps, a network of volunteers, that provides medical care.
