TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Hurricane Dorian and disaster response in the face of constant threats JO - Disaster medicine and public health preparedness A1 - Louissaint, Nicolette A. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Hurricane Dorian's impact on Eastern North Carolina and the Bahamas islands demonstrate the devastation and public health needs that can be left in the wake of a catastrophic event. The hurricane created a range of public health and healthcare challenges, strained further by the damage to infrastructure on which critical services, including the medical supply chain, depend. The recovery process is long, but offers an opportunity to build back better, more resilient communities that can withstand today's threats.
