title = "Cyclone disaster mitigation in cities",
abstract = "This paper presents conceptual thought for cyclone disaster mitigation in urban areas. By recognizing the society{\textquoteright}s expectations of surviving and rapid recovery from a cyclone event architects and engineers need to think not only in terms of robustness of buildings and critical infrastructure but also at community level. In addition, various professions including hazard scientists, construction industry, urban planners, economists, and social science professionals play crucial roles in developing resiliency of an urban area. With paradigm shift in thinking of an urban area holistically it will be possible to mitigate cyclone hazard from becoming a disaster.",
