Berkeley Sanchez’s Case Study on the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season

2017 Hurricane season

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season was one of the most devastating in United States history, with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria causing extensive damage, resulting in approximately $265 billion in losses, widespread displacement, and significant rates of morbidity and mortality.

Sanchez writes about the need for comprehensive preparedness, robust infrastructure resilience, and agile response frameworks as a result of the hurricanes. The author calls for increased collaboration between the private sector and government agencies to reduce morality and morbidity rates.
