As the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center it was imperative that Tampa General Hospital (TGH) stay open and ready to care for the community during Hurricane Milton. Storm mitigation efforts stood strong and all three TGH facilities remained fully operational. How did the hospital prepare for a near-direct hit from Hurricane Milton and for Hurricane Helene, which had devastated the region only two weeks earlier? Emergency preparations included the previous construction of an on-site energy source and water source and assembling an AquaFence water-impermeable barrier just before each storm to protect against the storm surge.

However, as highlighted in the article, even the most prepared facilities face overwhelming challenges when public services like water, sewer, and power are disrupted. My heart goes out to everyone affected as they work to recover and rebuild.
