Structural and non structural mitigation measures for cyclone

 

There are two broad types of cyclone mitigation measures, viz. structural mitigation measures and non-structural mitigation measures. The structural mitigation measures consist of methods of building multipurpose cyclone shelters and the methods of building cyclone-resistant residential and commercial structures. The non-structural mitigation measures consist of hazard mapping, migration of population from cyclone-prone areas, setting up of early detection technologies, etc.

Explanation:  

Cyclones come as unavoidable natural disasters that claim many lives worldwide every year and also cause loss of property. The intensity of life and property loss can be reduced to a considerable extent by implementing structural and non-structural mitigation measures. These measures consist of various methods of building structures and of early calamity detection.
