not be limited to - Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Journal of Environmental Health and Journal of Coastal Research; keywords for accurate searching will include disaster preparedness, Hurricane Andrew,
peer review, study, research, intensity, damage and technology. IV. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION Topics for discussion include problem statement, background, literature review (subsections
to include - but not be limited to - Andrews Progression, Impact on Land, Hindsight Technology and Aftermath: Rescue Efforts) and conclusions/recommendations. TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Abstract a.
