To find out more about hurricanes in general, go to the site maintained by the Tropical Prediction Center of the National Hurricane Center ( http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.html), which offers satellite images of recent storms, as well as lots of additional information. You can also find a preparedness guide put together by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and The National Weather Service at http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/hurricbro.html.

Engineering types and others interested in building issues should visit the site maintained by the Blue Sky Foundation of North Carolina, a non-profit corporation aimed at encouraging hazard resistant construction ( http://www.bluesky-project.com/).
