Abstract: Loss of lives and property through abnormal weather occurrences has become a national concern. It is difficult to conclude that these phenomena have become more frequent in late years, but they certainly strike at more peo ple owing to the increase and distribution of our population. The different types of weather disasters are discussed in considerable detail, especially hurricanes and tornadoes. Information is given on various features of the "warning serv ices" set up to permit the taking of precautionary measures in threatened areas and on research projects now under way designed to improve forecasting and warning services.—Ed.
