How nurses can help during a hurricane?
Example.
Strong winds and heavy rainfall are hallmarks of hurricanes. Hurricanes have different effects on communities and individuals. During hurricanes, for instance, people can suffer injuries like cuts, sprains, bruises, and fractures from falling or being hit by flying objects. Additionally, hurricanes increase the risk of water-borne diseases and allergic reactions (VanDevanter et al.,2017). During hurricanes, another obstacle is dehydration caused by a lack of clean drinking water. The healthcare response to natural disasters like hurricanes relies heavily on nurses. Before hurricanes hit, plans for preparation should include nurses. Nurses will be able to participate in the community's education about hurricane safety in this manner. In addition, preparations will include providing the required resources.
