Week 13: Belize and Coastal wheather


 Like many other places, Belize is prone to coastal erosion along with the cliffs. This occurs when sea levels rise and the waves eventually collide with the soil, causing damage to cliffs and the property of the people who live along the cliffs. Tropical storms are incredibly common and the people who live at the tops of the cliffs are often hit the storms the worst. Belize has great meteorologists who report the weather. NEMO or ( National Emergency Management Organization) decides whether weather should cause people to evacuate or not.  If anything severe happens they have the ability to evacuate people.
