Hurricanes Can Wreak Havoc on Your Health

Hurricanes bring more than just strong winds and torrential rain. They can:

  • Disrupt access to healthcare: Pharmacies may close, and medical facilities may be overwhelmed.

  • Damage or destroy medications: Flooding and power outages can ruin your vital medications.

  • Exacerbate existing health conditions: Stress and displacement can worsen chronic illnesses.

  • Create new health risks: Injuries, infections, and exposure to contaminated water are common after a hurricane.
