Produced for the Natural Disasters Organisation by Film Australia.
Script and direction, Cecil Holmes ; Production, Malcolm Otton
Filmed at the imaginary town of Coastville, in tropical Queensland, this study of cyclones and their behaviour provides invaluable information on how to protect yourself and your property when a cyclone strikes. Besides examining some of Australia's most disastrous cyclones and showing how meteorologists and emergency services predict them and prepare for them, the film includes fascinating footage showing how a cyclone develops off the coast of Africa, filmed from satellite, tracking aircraft and ships as it crosses the Atlantic and finally devastates the Mexican town of Tamico. Indicates the counter-disaster operations initiated by civil defense organisations.
