Why are people who live along the coast or other low lying areas often in more danger from hurricanes?

People living along the coast or in low-lying areas are often in greater danger from hurricanes due to their proximity to the ocean, which can lead to storm surges that inundate land with water. Additionally, these regions typically experience stronger winds and heavy rainfall associated with hurricanes, increasing the risk of flooding and structural damage. The geography of low-lying areas can exacerbate these effects, making evacuation and emergency response more challenging. Overall, the combination of these factors heightens the vulnerability of coastal communities during such severe weather events.
