Healthcare Ready's Releases on Hurricane Milton

Overview

    • As of October 7, Hurricane Milton has intensified into a Category 5 hurricane and will likely make landfall along the west coast of Florida, Wednesday evening.  
    • The Big Bend region of Florida could potentially see tropical storm conditions including anywhere from one to eight inches of rain and storm surges ranging from one to three feet. That area is still recovering from Hurricane Helene so the impacts to recovery efforts could be exacerbated. 
    • On October 6, Florida Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 24-215, declaring a state of emergency for 51 counties due to Hurricane Milton.

Healthcare Ready's Role during Hurricane Milton

Healthcare Ready works to monitor and evaluate the situation around the damage and provide analysis of its implications. We aim to provide information across sectors to supply information to all parties involved or impacted. Healthcare Ready is focusing efforts on highlighting challenges and supporting solutions to these challenges from the damages. 

A part of monitoring during this time is through Rx Open. Rx Open provides information on the operating status of healthcare facilities in areas impacted by a disaster. When the map is active for an event, users can use the Facilities map to search for individual facility status such as pharmacies, community health centers, and dialysis centers.

Healthcare Ready is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to ensure patient access to healthcare in times of disaster, emergency, and disease outbreaks. We leverage unique relationships with government, nonprofit and medical supply chains to build and enhance the resiliency of communities before, during and after disasters. Learn more about Healthcare Ready
