As #TropicalStormHelene approaches, Tampa General Hospital is taking proactive steps to ensure we are prepared for any impacts. Our Facilities team has begun installation of the AquaFence, which will be fully in place by Wednesday, providing a water-tight barrier capable of withstanding up to 15 feet of storm surge to protect vulnerable areas of the hospital. We are closely monitoring the situation, have activated our emergency response plan, and opened our incident command center. As the region's only Level I Trauma Center, we stand prepared to care for our patients and community throughout the storm. #WeAreTGH #StormWatch #AquaFence
