Hurricanes are dangerous beauties
that can profoundly affect economies
and landscapes, but early warnings
dramatically reduce losses of life.
Superbes mais dangereux,
les ouragans sont de force à
bouleverser notre économie et
nos paysages. Grâce aux alertes
précoces, nous parvenons à
réduire considérablement les
pertes en vies humaines. |
