Why do engineers need to design special houses for places where hurricanes happen?

To make the houses look more modern.

Because strong winds and rain can damage regular houses.

So people can predict when a hurricane will arrive.

Because the ground is too soft for normal buildings.

What is the main role of an engineer when dealing with the problem of severe weather like hurricanes?

To accurately forecast the path of the storm for the news.

To find ways to change building designs to make them safer and more resistant to damage.

To lead the cleanup efforts to remove debris after a storm has passed.

To try to stop the hurricane from forming over the ocean.

To reduce damage and keep people safe.

To use fewer building materials.

Very large windows to see the ocean.

A structure designed to stand up against powerful wind forces.

A bright color so it is easy to find.

A large, open garden with few trees.

Attempting to change the storm's path away from land.

Focusing on protecting structures from the storm's effects.
