Preparing for disasters, terrorist threats, or communicable disease outbreaks is an important part of public health nursing.
Share an overview of a natural or human-made disaster that has occurred in your area in the last 20 years.
Include a URL and reference to the event. This may be a news article.
Describe how your community was impacted.
Describe lessons learned and changes made to preparedness.

(I choose Hurricane Irma that hit South Florida in 2017. I was actually stuck working at the hospital for this hurricane so I can add a lot of details.)

Please use the text book as a reference along with a an article of the event.
