70% Informative

Storm surges from Hurricane Milton remain a major concern in many parts of Florida , with tropical storm warnings still in effect along much of the east-central coast.

Floodwater can harbour a variety of contaminants, including bacteria, chemicals, oil, petrochemicals, and sewage.

Florida Department of Health issued an advisory warning residents to avoid floodwaters to prevent exposure to Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially life-threatening bacteria that lives in water.

Storms also have long-term health impacts that persist even after the storm has passed, Rivkees said.

Storms can disrupt people’s routine medical care, especially for those with chronic conditions.

“There’ll be a mental health toll that we can actually see after these storms,” he said.
