Cuba: Beating the Hurricane

Cuba is a country that is hit by hurricanes quite regularly. Because of this, it has become an expert in protecting its citizens from the damage of storms. To this end, they established a system which relies on clear communication between several sectors including the media and Civil Defense. Even though they are one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean, the citizens of Cuba are the best prepared against raging storms. Every year, everyone undergoes training sessions that include risk reduction, simulation exercises, and rescue operations. Other hurricane-prone areas should try to replicate and improve Cuba's system too so they can prevent deaths due to bad weather.
