As we begin the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season, it’s worth looking back at past storms to see what lessons we can learn from the warnings that were given and how people responded (or didn’t respond) to the information provided by weather forecasters and emergency managers. Southeast Ag Net posted a helpful story this week describing how communications for Hurricane Ian did not convey the full impacts of the storm or provide residents with information that could have helped them survive the storm and recover more quickly.
