Hurricane Response

Hurricane Preparedness and Response

In the event of a major hurricane, EPA activates experienced response personnel from EPA Regional offices to assist with the environmental impacts and potential threats to human health.
Prepare or recover from a hurricane

EPA works closely with federal agencies, states, and local governments to respond quickly to environmental concerns and natural disasters, including hurricanes. Take action by listening to local officials and reviewing your emergency plans.

ALWAYS CALL 911 if you are in immediate danger and need emergency help.
