In this day of supercomputers and advanced computer software we can better protect our civilization by using these systems to predict when and where we are in the most danger of catastrophic devastation from a natural disaster. Flood control districts predict where the most dangerous areas are in which regions are most prone to flooding. Knowing this information in advance helps city planners from making mistakes, which could kill many people.

With the supercomputer modeling of hurricanes, we can better protect from loss of life by issuing early warning mandatory evacuation orders. Such advances in technology are getting better and better and one day we may be able to help modified mother nature ever so slightly in order to prevent a natural disaster from happening in the first place. But for now they are doing an excellent job in helping us predict where our most vulnerable places in our civilization are.

With each new devastating event we learn more. And after the 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season, the numerous tornadoes that hit the Midwest in 2005 and 2006, as well as the flooding that has been experienced and as bad as all that was it is now helping us to save lives. Since we collected all the data now we can number crunch in our supercomputers to better predict, pin-points and prevent severe devastation from mother nature's most deadly natural disasters. Consider this in 2006.
