Answer
During the early part of the last century, the people residing in coastal regions have less than a day for the preparations or to evacuate their homes from an overcoming cyclone. But, the today’s situation is very different. Today we are much protected. We have satellites and radars which can issue the cyclone watch or cyclone alert before $48$ hrs (in advance) of any expected storm and a cyclone warning is issued $24$ hrs in advance. Therefore, the coastal residents have sufficient time to prepare and evacuate their homes. The message related to cyclone is broadcasted over the ratio every hour or half hour when a cyclone is nearer the coast. In this way, the advanced technology has helped us in giving better protection from cyclones. Several national and international organisations cooperate to monitor the cyclone related disasters.
