Question

Why do communities resist programs to educate the public about hurricane hazards? they don't believe they have a hurricane problem; it hasn't happened as long as they can remember. they view such publicity as bad for tourism and for property values. it costs too much and they don't want to increase taxes to pay for it. they don't know how to approach the publicity; they don't have ways to educate the public. they view it as a statewide problem that should be addressed by the state?
