Technology like - Hurricane proof buildings featuring steel reinforced exterior walls and roofs. Surely cheaper than the alternative of losing everything and rebuilding only to be at risk of losing it all again when the next storm comes. If you want insurance, you have to have a building up to code. Simple.
Besides all that... maybe a little planning would go a long way. Load those school busses and trains up and get those people out. Open both sides of the freeway for one way exodus. Mobilize the Nation Guard before the storm makes landfall so they can move in right away. And if you KNOW the levee is going to fail, have some pumps and earth movers ready to go.
That, or figure out how to stop the earths natural cooling mechanisms. Hmmm...
A really good scanner has a really good dynamic range. This is how well the scanner can pick up the details in the dark areas. Dynamic range is driven by the quality of the CCD. So generally the better the dynamic range - the more expensive the scanner.
Most consumer level crap will not even list the dynamic range.
The closer to 4 you can get the better. Epson used to sell a decent flatbed with a dynamic range of 3.2
