What: Extreme weather events caused by climate change will force health facilities to consider how they can better prepare
什么：气候变化引起的极端天气事件将迫使卫生机构考虑如何更好地做好准备
Why: The United States experienced another destructive hurricane season this fall: Hurricane Ian battered Southwest Florida this past September, and Hurricane Nicole made landfall late in the hurricane season in November with similarly devasting effects in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital in Port Charlotte was among the facilities most impacted, with strong winds tearing off parts of the roof in the intensive care unit and storm surges flooding the emergency room. As unprecedented weather events become the norm, health facilities will find themselves facing new and unexpected challenges, some of which they have yet to experience.
