hurricane risk
Cyclone damage potential
Hurricane risk refers to the likelihood and potential severity of damage from hurricanes in a given area, typically assessed for insurance, construction, and emergency planning purposes.
Coastal regions face higher hurricane risk due to storm surge, high winds, and flooding.
Insurance companies calculate hurricane risk to set premiums, while homeowners in hurricane-prone zones must weigh the risk against mitigation costs.
