Hurricane protection systems
Hurricane protection systems are designed to safeguard buildings and infrastructure from storm-force winds, heavy rain, and flooding. These include reinforced windows and doors to prevent breakage, storm shutters that block debris, elevated structures or barriers to prevent floodwaters from entering, and reinforced roofs to withstand high winds. Some facilities use seawalls and levees to control storm surges, while others implement advanced drainage systems to manage heavy rainfall. Proper planning and construction techniques, based on regional risks, help minimize damage, protect property, and ensure safety during hurricanes.
