Abstract

Survey data from a variety of interests show the estimated total cost for the protective measures taken in some hurricane-threatened areas. These data are discussed and compared with damage reports from a few recent hurricanes. Costs, savings, and damage figures vary with storm intensities and forecast accuracies. Estimates on how these figures may change within the next decade are included.
