Wed, 25 Jul 2018 21:40:03 +0000https://news.mst.edu/?p=22949#comment-151627A novel and instructive approach to the problem. Most people fear loss of life given the perfidy of tornado behavior and the destructive forces behind them. How can we productively reduce loss of life through better buildings given the financial impact- perhaps using a mortgage concept up front? Having seem first hand the effects including a tornado 20 miles away leaving debris in my Kansas City, MO backyard I suspect people take a fatalistic approach. We need better early warning systems (much better now than before) and perhaps a Smart House that can sense a coming storm and react protectively?
An impressive service is being delivered yet again by the research at MO S & T!
