Le risque cyclonique

Les cyclones sont parmi les plus dévastateurs des phénomènes météorologiques. Ils représentent un risque majeur pour l'ensemble des zones intertropicales, et notamment pour les départements et territoires d'outre-mer. En raison notamment de la " force " du phénomène, et en dépit des progrès effectués dans sa compréhension et dans les mesures de surveillance, les cyclones sont chaque année à l'origine de bilans humains et économiques très lourds . http://www.risquesmajeurs.fr/le-risque-cyclonique
