Topic for Research Paper

For my research paper I am going to write about natural disasters such as hurricanes and tropical storms. Tropical storm Fay struck near my home and fortunately the flooding was not devastating to my family and I. But for others in DeBary, a neighboring city close to home, the storm hit pretty badly and left people in floods chest high and destroyed homes. I want investigate and argue how this may have been avoided and what the government (FEMA) could be doing to help these unfortunate victims. For my “non-book/non-internet source” I am going to try and conduct an interview with one of the victims if possible, and during fall break I am going to see if I can explore the area myself to obtain further details.
