The Atlantic hurricane season that occurred the year 2005 is taken as the most dangerous one in the US history . The Atlantic hurricane season led to the death of a number of people almost 2 ,280 people died . A part from the loss of life and damage to properties , the incident also had some economic impact on the US economy . The storm significantly led to speculative spikes in the price of crude oil . During this period the price

of crude oil was very high because pf inflation brought by the damage to the oil industry . The occurrence of the storm has made both the public and government to have interest in addressing the climate changes that were created . The government therefore implemented the federal government policy and Ontario government policy

The federal government policy was formed after the occurrence of the hurricane Katrina that led to a big loss is the US economy .

This followed several claims that the oil company had been warned for allowing salt water to flow into the marshlands and eventually eroding the lands .
