1. Constructing buildings with more resilient materials: By using materials like reinforced concrete and steel, buildings can be made stronger and more resistant to the high winds and heavy rains of hurricanes.

2. Avoiding building houses in flood-prone areas: One of the major risks of hurricanes is flooding, and people can protect themselves by not building homes in areas that are prone to flooding. This includes areas near rivers or coastal regions that are at a higher risk of storm surges. By avoiding these areas, people can reduce the damage caused by hurricanes and protect themselves from the danger of flooding.
