AC Disaster Consulting

Today, we are recognizing the anniversary of the day that Hurricane Andrew slammed into South Florida as a CAT 5, causing $27 billion in damages (1992 dollars) in the U.S. alone. Hurricane Andrew, still considered one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S, is an often-used example of the importance of avoiding complacency, even during seasons that are forecast to have “below-normal” hurricane activity. #TeamACDC’s Allison Diego lived in South Florida when Andrew hit, and shared her experience with us, and the impact that it held for her and her career: “Thirty-two years ago, Hurricane Andrew took my first home. Working for the Miami-Dade Parks Department, I found purpose in helping others while distributing ice and water to survivors. Amidst the devastation, I saw firsthand the resilience of a community and the power of public service. That experience shaped my path, leading me into a career in emergency management, where we strive to make a difference every day. From loss came a deep commitment to service, and it's this commitment that drives us to help others rebuild and recover, no matter the challenges we face.” https://lnkd.in/ev9D4ivF #EmergencyManagement #HurricaneAndrew #Anniversary
