How a Hurricane Hit Cuba
Hurricanes hit Cuba when tropical cyclones move across the Caribbean and make landfall on the island. Cuba’s location exposes it to frequent storms, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season from June to November.
Immediate Effects on Infrastructure and Communities
Strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge can damage homes, roads, power lines, and crops. Flooding often cuts off transport and disrupts daily life in affected provinces.
Economic and Recovery Outlook
Rebuilding after a hurricane hit Cuba can strain public finances and slow economic activity. International aid and targeted recovery programs help restore essential services and support affected households.
