ASSIGNMENT NO.7


For Assignment #7 you'll be dealing with HURRICANES and going to a specific place (FEMA) and then choose three sites of your choice dealing with hurricanes plus a visit to Prokop.

Go to NETSCAPE
Go to OPEN FILE and type in: http://www.fema.gov/hazards/hurricanes/
You'll get a Fact Sheet: Hurricanes (Things you should know are here)
Answer the following questions:
1. In about half a page explain the important points of:
a. BEFORE A HURRICANE
2. In about half a page explain the important points of:
b. DURING A HURRICANE WARNING
Go back to NETSCAPE
Go to three search engines and type in Hurricanes. Name the three search engines you chose and write down the number of sites dealing with hurricanes per search engine. It will be interesting to see how the number of sites on hurricanes vary with search engines and how many actually deal with hurricanes.
Choise three (3) sites dealing with hurricanes that interested you and do the following for each site:
a. http # and title of site
b. Description or summary of site
c. React to site. Good, bad, why, etc. Would you recommend it and why or not recommend and why?
Go back to Good's Home Page and go down to Pat's Weather from WTOC-TV and click Weather Index. Click on Tropical Page. Notice Hurricane Historu Look over different hurricane categories. What would happen to Savannah if a Class V hurricane hit? What would be dry?
Go down to Additional Tropical Links on Visit--about 18 of them and click through a couple of them and choose one, i.e. National Hurricane Center or Sun-Sentinel Hurricane Page and others. In a brief statement tell which one and a brief statement about each. What do you think of Pat's Hurricane stuff?
