1. Factors that made Hurricane Katrina so devastating included its strength as a Category 5 storm, poor levee system designs, and inadequate evacuation plans.
Hurricanes are partially predictable through advances in meteorological technology and modeling, but their exact paths and intensities can still be uncertain.
Simulations and drills are similar in that they both prepare individuals and organizations for real-life scenarios without the associated risks.
Models are helpful for predicting and planning for hurricanes by:
1. Allowing meteorologists to simulate various storm scenarios and their potential impacts.
2. Providing data that can inform evacuation plans and emergency responses.
Data Collection (Page 5):
Scientists use **Doppler** radar to track the movement of air inside a hurricane. Doppler radar uses radio waves sent from an antenna.
Scientists also use **satellite** images from space to track where a storm is going and its speed.
