What are strom surges:
Storm surges are abnormal rises in sea level during a storm, caused mainly by strong winds pushing seawater towards the coast. They often happen during tropical cyclones or hurricanes.
Impacts of storm surges:
Flooding: Storm surges can flood coastal areas, damaging homes, roads, and buildings.
Loss of life: Powerful surges can lead to drowning and injury.
Erosion: The force of the water can wash away beaches and coastlines.
Contaminated water: Saltwater can mix with fresh water, making it unsafe to drink.
Damage to crops: Saltwater floods can kill crops and make the soil less fertile.
Economic loss: Tourism, fishing, and other coastal businesses may suffer huge losses.
