Exploring hurricane preparedness, emergency response, and community resilience through the interconnected perspectives of human health, animal health, and environmental health.

Hurricane preparedness involves more than preparing homes and securing supplies. It also means considering the health and safety of people and animals, protecting the environment, and coordinating the resources and services our community depends on before, during, and after a storm.

In this episode of the POHA Podcast, we explore hurricane preparedness and response through the One Health lens, highlighting the importance of collaboration across public health, emergency management, and county operations.

Featuring:

• Adriane Rogers — Executive Director, Pasco County Mosquito Control District
• Andy Fossa — Director, Pasco County Emergency Management
• Jordan French — Assistant Director of Support Services, Pasco County

Together, our guests discuss how a coordinated approach to preparedness and response supports community resilience and why considering the connections between people, animals, and the environment is an important part of planning for hurricanes and other emergencies.
