Can we tame a tropical Cyclone to reduce its damage potential?
Considering the huge energy potential of the Cyclones, all experiments in US under he Project Storm Fury to tame them have turned futile. The best solution is not to try to alter or destroy the tropical cyclones, but just learn to co-exist better with them. Since we know that coastal regions are vulnerable to the storms, enforce building codes that can have houses stand up to the force of the tropical cyclones. In this regard the Building Material Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC), Ministry of Uraban affairs has brought out a vulnerability map in consultation with IMD which is very useful for disaster mamagers.
