Why Martime Security Is Important During Hurricane Season
by Oscar Marshall
Along the eastern coast, many homes and businesses are susceptible to the torrential hurricane seasons. Even though there are protections with seawalls and other man-made efforts to keep hurricane damage at bay, lives are lost or affected yearly by these seasonal storms.
Maritime security is security that especially protects the nation's coastline, providing protection against intruder attack and keeping people safe. During hurricanes and other types of storms, maritime security proves to be beneficial and life-saving. Here are reasons why maritime security is important during hurricane season.
Security manages panic
With disaster comes panic. With many people attempting to evacuate homes and businesses, crowds can accumulate quickly and panic spreads like disease. A panicked crowd becomes unmanageable quickly and people get hurt, missing, or even killed in the chaos that ensues. Maritime security officers placed around business fronts and neighborhoods help to keep people safe, guide them to safe points, and helps manage any panicked fights or other chaos to keep people safe and organized in the event of a coastline disaster like a hurricane.
Security protects people
If someone were to get caught up in running waters caused by a hurricane or get actively trapped out at sea, maritime security is there to help and bring those in real danger to safety. Working alongside the local area's police and fire department crews, maritime security helps keep people in a safe location and retrieves those who are in precarious and dangerous situations.
Security brings provisions
With access to cell phone service, food and water supplies, and medical equipment scarce or unavailable, it's up to emergency personnel and the maritime security team to make sure that people have access to basic necessities to keep them warm and safe. Maritime security teams work together to bring in needed provisions including temporary shelter, food, and water to help people remain calm and comfortable until more help can arrive.
Security brings border protection
There is always the underlying threat that neighboring countries or active terrorists can take advantage of a natural storm to penetrate the nation's borders and put whole populations at risk of invasion. The primary job of maritime security is to keep borders safe so no one crosses the oceans to take advantage of a dangerous situation. There are many reasons maritime security is important when hurricane season arrives. With the right assistance, a storm can be less dangerous and deadly when it occurs.
