Forecasters are predicting major hurricanes this year. How do you evacuate during a pandemic?
The 2020 hurricane season will follow four unusually active years for numbers of storms and ferocity. Six Category 5 hurricanes have formed beginning with Matthew in 2016, followed by 2017's Irma and Maria, 2018's Michael and 2019’s Dorian and Lorenzo.
April is a difficult time to make predictions, but AccuWeather lead hurricane forecaster Dan Kottlowski is secure in his forecast.That worries Stephanie Kaple, executive director of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, who is still dealing with Hurricane Irma fallout and now struggling with high unemployment because of the coronavirus.
This year, officials are warily eyeing the possibility of dealing with a hurricane and a pandemic at the same time. “Out-of-state support is off the table right now because every jurisdiction is keeping their folks close,” Koon said. “Then you have social distancing and self-isolating. How do you jam a bunch of people into an emergency operations center?”It’s a point Florida Emergency Manager Jared Moskowitz made in a social media post recently when someone asked why FEMA wasn’t doing more to negotiate for protective masks for states.
Long dealt with more than 220 disasters in 2017 and 2018, including major landfalling hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria and Michael. There were also wildfires in California, volcanic eruptions in Hawaii and a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Alaska.
