COVID-19's Impact on Hurricane Evacuation and Sheltering

Friday, August 14, 2020

10-11:15 a.m. ET

Predictions of an active hurricane season—which began on June 1 and runs through November 30—are quickly and tragically coming to fruition, with eight named storms already. Emergency managers are increasingly concerned about when and where to call for evacuations if a major storm hits. With COVID-19 cases rising in a handful of hurricane-prone states, building in social distancing safeguards, securing needed personal protective equipment and supplies, and minimizing public confusion are all top-of-mind considerations. Rep. Stacey Plaskett, former FEMA Administrator Brock Long, and other emergency management experts will join us to explore the latest thinking on protocols, plans, and guidance for safe sheltering and evacuation.
