I don't think there are hurricanes off the coast of Africa. Stormproof sounds a bit ambitious. Storm resistant might be a better word.

Lagos is a hideous slum, perhaps the nastiest city on Earth.

If it works , this might be a good idea to use in Bangladesh , or other flood prone areas.

I like the idea a lot , but it needs to be really tough and tip resistant, elese it will only increase the vunerability of these already very vunerable people.

Bangladesh has serious storms and of course, the annual monsoon.
