On this day in 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall as a category 4 storm in Texas, causing devastating flooding in Texas and Louisiana. Harvey caused an estimated $125 billion in damages, making it the second-most costly hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland since 1900. Lasting 117 hours, Harvey was the deadliest hurricane to hit Texas since 1919, the first category 4 hurricane to make landfall in Texas since 1961, and the first category 4 to make landfall in the United States since 2004. Today, Team IEM remembers the lives lost and those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. 🤍 #HurricaneHarvey #AtlanticHurricaneSeason #HurricaneSeason #hurricane #Texas #Louisiana

Thirty years ago today, Hurricane Andrew made landfall in South Florida as a Category 5 storm, one of the most powerful in U.S. history. The storm brought catastrophic destruction to the region, and two days later, also struck Louisiana, leaving a path of devastation across multiple states. The storm caused $27 billion in damages, upended countless families and communities, and led to many tragic lives lost. The impact of Andrew was felt far and wide, sparking a renewed focus on the importance of preparedness, stronger building codes, and robust resiliency measures. Since then, the nation and the IEM Team have worked tirelessly to strengthen our communities and ensure that we are better prepared for the future. Today, we reflect on the lessons learned from Hurricane Andrew and honor those who were affected by continuing to build safer, more resilient communities. IEM remains committed to protecting lives and minimizing the impact of future storms. #HurricaneAndrew #HurricaneAndrew30 #StrongerTogether #FloridaStrong #LousianaStrong #Resilience #CommunityResilience #BuildingStronger #RememberingAndrew #HazardMitigation #ResilientCommunities #Hurricanes #BuildingCodes
