How do environmental catastrophes tend to influence environmental policies in state and local governments

Catastrophes come as thief's, uninvited! They largely influence the policies and sometimes strict policies are implemented after the damage has been done. Government at this time are however aware of the Global Warming and are already taking measures to keep the environment safe.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, earthquakes and etc. have all in one common -they’re tragedies and when they’re in action severe disastrous and crisis events happen. These occurrences are inevitable, they shake and reshape the whole society in large scale, globally. Hence, the aim of the government, both local and state thru this inescapable and some unpredictable tragedies, is to lower the causalities, the death count. The environmental policies they establish and enact is to have better safe houses and by reforming and improvising the escape and safety protocols before, during and after these events. These simple measures can affect the communities and families, just reexamining and revisiting these environmental decrees. Also, they study and innovate the effectivity of their meteorological, geometric and atmospheric equipment to better detect and enhance these tools. These catastrophes are just getting stronger so the government as well moves forward to prevent major loss. Implementing more strategic approaches.
