Which type of disaster usually allows for advanced warnings?

Tornados

Hurricanes

Hurricanes typically provide advanced warnings due to their nature and behavior. Meteorologists have sophisticated technology and forecasting models that can track these storms as they develop over the ocean. As hurricanes often progress slowly compared to other natural disasters, this allows for ample time to monitor their paths and predict their potential impact on land.

The advance notice can span several days, enabling authorities and residents in the projected path to prepare adequately, whether by evacuating the area, securing property, or stocking up on necessary supplies. This predictive capability is a key distinguishing feature of hurricanes in contrast to other disasters like tornadoes, bomb threats, or earthquakes, which may occur suddenly and with little to no warning.
