Structural mitigation measures for cyclones aim to strengthen buildings to withstand high winds and flooding. Some key structural measures discussed in the document include using reinforced concrete construction, hurricane straps and clips to tie together the roof and walls, elevating structures above flood levels on stilts or columns, and designing roofs to withstand uplift forces from winds. The document focuses on structural design strategies that can help reduce damage to buildings from cyclonic storms.
