Tourists visiting coastal areas often wonder what it would be like to live there all year long, but there are certain times of year when the locals anxiously watch the weather forecasts and wonder if they’re in store for yet another natural disaster. There’s nothing we can do to stop tropical storms and hurricanes, but we can definitely take a few precautions to protect our structures and the people who live and work in them!

Millions of Americans take beach vacations each year, and American coastal towns rely heavily on tourism to support their local economies. Unfortunately, the East Coast and Gulf Coast are both particularly vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes, which begin in the spring and continue through the fall. The buildings located in these areas must be engineered to withstand seasonal weather extremes, and it’s crucial to use the right materials.
