Tropical cyclones cannot be managed or prevented, so the only recourse is to warn people, prepare communities and put programmes into effect to clean up afterwards.
Tropical cyclone warning systems are in place within cyclone-prone countries such as Australia. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology keeps residents informed on the development, current and predicted movements and progress of a cyclone.
Communities in cyclone-prone areas in developed countries like Australia make use of technology to construct buildings which can better withstand cyclonic effects. This has particularly been the case since Cyclone Tracy blew away most of the city of Darwin in 1974. Emergency services are better prepared nowadays, while the media and websites keep the public well informed of how to prepare their homes and properties before cyclones and what to do once a cyclone hits.

Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
What are hurricanes called in other parts of the world?
In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
In what direction did the tropical cyclones?
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
Can two cyclones happen at once?
Yes. Extratropical cyclones happen all the time, and at times the Atlantic Ocean has had as many as 5 tropical cyclones at the same time. Right now (August 18, 2010) there are two tropical cyclones in the Pacific: Tropical Storm Fernanda and Hurricane Greg
Are all hurricanes cyclones and tornadoes named?
No. All hurricanes and other tropical cyclones above tropical depression strength get named, however extratropical cyclones are not named. Tornadoes never get names.

What do scientists call tropical cyclones in the Atlantic?
Tropical cyclones in the Atlantic are known as hurricanes. They rotate anti-clockwise, rather than clockwise like cyclones in the southern hemisphere.
What do oceans cause?
tropical cyclones
Do cyclones have eyes?
Yes, the tropical cyclones have structures that are usually referred to as eyes.
What are more deadly hurricanes or cyclones?
A hurricane is a kind of tropical cyclone. Though they do tend to be deadlier than tropical cyclones, there are exceptions.
Do hurricanes gain strength by tropical cyclones?

What is the spatial distribution of tropical cyclones in Australia?
Most tropical cyclones in Australia actually occur in Chinatown. This part of Australia has dodgy air-conditioning so there is an extremely high chance of tropical cyclones to form in the poorly ventilated buildings of Chinatown
