hurricane survivors

Cyclone aftermath people

Hurricane survivors are people who have lived through a hurricane, especially those who experienced significant danger, destruction, or displacement.

The term emphasizes having endured the storm's impact rather than simply being present during it: Hurricane survivors described the terror of watching their roof blow away.

Often used in news coverage and relief efforts to identify those needing assistance.
