Abstract
<jats:p>As communities worldwide confront increasingly severe climate related emergencies, there is an urgent need to move beyond traditional crisis response strategies and adopt sustainable solutions to mitigate the impact of natural disasters. Focusing on hurricanes and tropical cyclones, this study examines their profound effects on the environment, infrastructure, economy, and human lives, utilizing the systematically reviews of 84 articles, reports, and researchers. The study aims to delve in existing evidence regarding the social and economic risks these disasters pose. The research highlighted the critical role of integrating sustainable solutions into disaster management to achieve environmental, economic, and social benefits.Case studies from the USA, China, Oman, and the UAE demonstrated that adopting green practices such as renewable energy, nature-based solutions, and circular economy principles enhance resilience and recovery. Early warning systems and public education, as implemented in China and the UAE, have significantly reduced disaster fatalities. Also, nature-based strategies like reforestation and wetland restoration mitigate floods and landslides while strengthening ecosystems. The study adds to existing crisis management research by identifying strategies for survival and resilience against climate change impacts. The findings also align with previous studies on climate change effects and offer actionable recommendations for policymakers and governments to enhance disaster mitigation efforts. The proposed strategies provide valuable tools to reduce disaster risks both during and after their occurrence.</jats:p>
