Florida is bracing for Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm, less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene. Milton is expected to bring extreme winds and storm surges up to 15 feet, affecting cleanup and recovery efforts across the state. This presents significant challenges for businesses, especially in maintaining operations and ensuring safety. Cleaning teams in the short-term rental industry must be prepared for immediate disaster response, including water extraction and sanitation. Disaster response strategies need streamlining for faster recovery, emphasizing the role of robust cleaning protocols. Stay safe and informed. #CleaningSolutions #DisasterRecovery #VacationRentals #HurricanePreparedness #VRMAStrong #ETISolutions https://lnkd.in/eAKEGts6

On September 27, Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida. Less than two weeks later, we’re on the cusp of Hurricane Milton’s landfall, which is likely to devastate many of the same counties that are still in the earliest phases of recovery from Helene. Colleagues and I look at some of the implications of these compounding disasters and consider how shifts to disaster policy can support communities to better prepare for and respond to back-to-back events such as Helene and Milton. Looking forward to opportunities to think about more proactive approaches in the future, but for now wishing for safety and a speedy recovery for all of those impacted by both storms. https://lnkd.in/e38EPwZf Sara McTarnaghan Andrew Rumbach Kameron Lloyd Urban Institute

With the recent Hurricane behind us and recovery still underway I am reminded of how far we are away from from a resilient Houston metro area. After Hurricane Harvey there was significant discussion ,some immediate action ,but as time went by people’s motivation wained .If I recall fewer people came out to vote for the Flood Control Bond Election than flooded just a year later. I have a few thoughts on this subject being involved in recovery efforts for 34 years. Yes CenterPoint recovery is far from perfect but better that Hurricane IKE. A decent reporting system and stopping the “ Hide decide declare and defend” mentality would go a long way. The lack of prepardness by Utility Districts, City’s and County’s is astonishing. Water and Sewer Systems must have reliable back up power as well as Fire Stations , Police Stations, Comunity Centers and other Government Facilities used in disaster recovery. This was a small storm compared to what can and WILL happen. Study’s show a direct hit Catagory 5 storm will have 120 mph winds in Conroe. Imagine every structure between Galveston and there being damaged or destroyed with no utilities for months. This time a Regional Recovery and Resilency team needs to be established to ensure projects are developed and delivered in a timely manner , and not delayed by bureaucratic government employees seeking power or bickering Elected Officials. Just like FEMA will cover the cost of debris removal , they will pay for resilency projects, like generators. Do it right this time , you may not get another chance before the big one hits.
