Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary. Eff ective evacuation would have saved many thousands of lives.
Building a seawall may have prevented much of the property damage. Most of
the damaged buildings were of wood frame construction, so requiring masonry
construction may have produced more damage-resistant buildings.



Answer to Question 2

Galveston had been struck by major hurricanes in the past without serious damage. In
1900, it was thought that the risk was only minor.
