I was born and raised in Cuba. I lived through Katrina, Wilma, and many others (while in cuba). For the most part, everytime theres any climate discrepancy the primate part of the brain activates -chaos and disorganization arise- Which is, in part related to the amount of casualties. Key things to do: -keep calm -seek higher ground -gather dry food, and non-perishable food (nuts, dry meat, canned fish, etc) -water -detachment of any material things. (Countless lives have been lost because people refuse to let go of their belongings) -dont wait until the last minute to take action.

In Cuba we didn't have nearly a quarter of the resources available in the U.S. We managed to minimize casualties because we kept our cool and didnt give in into despair.
