Answer 2

Answer:

Natural disasters that could be associated with this storm in coastal regions could include wave surges, tides, and tsunamis. The best emergency action plan under these circumstances would be the evacuation of residents in the at risk areas. The best evacuation routes depend on where residents and/or tourists are coming from. Residents north of I-164 should take 1-64 West, toward Richmond. Residents south of I-264 and oceanfront residents/tourists should take I-264 to 1-64 East, toward Suffolk.
