They suffer economic damage, but you hardly hear of human losses in the scale of Katrina.

I saw something on that a long time ago, and basically they are prepared better than we are with shelters and warning systems. When the people are ordered to go to the shelters, you don't hear "Nah, we wanna ride it out" like you do here. They do what they are told and have plans that involve everyone down to the local townships levels and they execute those plans.
In thinking about it, they really don't have a choice but to be prepared. They get slammed with the big storms all the time.
