A hurricane expert at Louisiana State University says that American policies should be loosened to allow a transfer of technology to Cuba to help bolster its oceanographic and weather data collection. He contends that the United States could learn from Cuba’s evacuation plans, post-disaster medical support and citizen disaster education programs.
“No matter how much our government may decry the Cuban regime, it is a fact that they are very successful in orchestrating evacuations and meeting the public health and medical needs of their population during disasters,” wrote Mr. van Heerden.
