Poll Results: Lessons from the hurricanes

2/20/2018

We asked readers: What did we learn from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma? 


The clean-up continues in Texas from the winds and floods of Hurricane Harvey. In Florida, many people are still struggling through the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. 


There remains much to learn about the extent of the damage in Texas and Florida, not to mention the questions concerning what can or should be done to prevent or mitigate damage from the inevitable next big storm.


Still, we asked readers, “What did we learn from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma?” The responses, from 87 total votes, broke down like this:




  • 34% — In times of crisis, Americans will come together


  • 31% — Be prepared


  • 20% — You can’t beat Mother Nature


  • 15% — It’s time to invest in America’s infrastructure


The poll is still open. Share your opinion here
