An analysis was conducted to determine the Worst Cities for Respiratory Infections to promote awareness to people concerning respiratory infections. And according to the surveys conducted, not only did the West region have the least cities on the list of the “The 50 Worst Cities for Respiratory Infections”, but the American West is ranked eight out of the top ten cities wherein physicians noted and recorded the fewest respiratory antibiotic prescriptions for each individual in that area.
Storms are one of the major hazards that are associated to coastal regions. Storms, flooding, and erosion are closely associated and can happen simultaneously. Tropical storms or Hurricanes especially can devastate coastal regions.They typically weaken rapidly over land surface where they are cut off from their primary energy source, for this reason coastal regions are particularly vulnerable to damage caused by the tropical cyclone as compared to inland regions.The destruction from a tropical cyclone, such as a hurricane or tropical storm, depends mainly on its intensity, its size, and its location. Tropical cyclones remove forest canopy as well as change the landscape near coastal areas, by moving and reshaping sand dunes and causing extensive erosion along the coast.
