Hong Kong government claims they have new technology that will protect them against severe weather on a scale of typhoon Mangkhut.Because of that typhoon and the damages that Hong Kong suffered from it, the officials have stepped in and invented technology that will protect the shoreline. "it uses laser imaging to capture the state of the facilities above the water and sonar waves to detect underwater structures, producing a high quality three-dimensional model for inspection."  With a wall like that protecting the shoreline, they will be able to detect when a typhoon is going to hit and prepare themselves. The wall is also made in a way that will be very difficult to tear down. With technology like that, Hong Kong hopes that whenever the next typhoon comes, their new inventions will be able to prevent costly damages as well as save peoples lives.
