On this day in 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, forcing the evacuation of multiple hospitals, displacing entire communities, and changing people's lives forever. Nurses were heroic in the face of the devastation, helping to bring more than 1,200 patients to safety and volunteering in the recovery efforts.

Since then, hospitals have worked to become more climate-resilient and disaster-ready. Is your facility prepared this hurricane season and beyond? Check out the link in bio for NYSNA's Weather Emergency Preparedness Checklist. This list of questions, developed by NYSNA's Emergency Preparedness Committee, is a helpful tool to use when assessing facility preparedness with management.
