A Cyclone or a typhoon or other tropical storms could occur. Hospitals and healthcare professionals should at all times consider a hurricane to be a disaster that requires emergency attention and prepare for them majorly because they lead to the destruction of homes, industrial outlets, and social supplies such as water, electricity, and food (Rosdahl & Kowalski, 2008).

A hurricane is another disaster that needs thorough preparedness. For any hospitals to run effectively without worries of the severity of the hurricane, it is important that the following issues be put in place: Back-up generators are required to prevent black out condition. Hospital structures should be hardened and category five windows hurricane resistance put in place. Fuel tanks for the back-up generators should be available.

In the event of a hurricane, strong winds blow. They tend to destroy power lines causing a total blackout, which leads to people living in particular area being cut off from the outside world, as they cannot watch the news or receive any supplies.

There could also be loss of lives as a hurricane destroys buildings, trapping those inside and making it hard for them to survive without the essentials of humans.

With this respect, considering a hurricane to be a natural disaster that requires emergent attention is crucial for healthcare professionals as it can help save lives of the affected by providing them with the necessary medical attention capable of sustaining their lives (Landesman, 2005). Hurricanes can trap patients and medical professionals in the facility without the ability of getting out, and that is if they are alive.

Hurricanes cause havoc and panic over many people and this may trigger health complications within people who suffer from coronary and other heart diseases. For such people to survive, they require emergency medical attention, which only medically trained personnel, can provide (Ciottone, 2006).

This means that hospitals and healthcare professionals should always treat hurricane as an emergency case so that they can resolve to provide either medical attention to people brought to them with such complications or those they choose to rescue (Clements, 2009).

Further, healthcare providers should always consider hurricane as an emergency issue since it requires people to evacuate their places of residence. In an event of evacuation, healthcare professionals can offer many medical related services to those evacuating considering the situation, as an emergency. Hurricanes trigger a number of issues such as diseases and infections as well as injuries since the heavy winds tend to lead to falling trees and buildings (Wolfson, Hendey, & Harwood-Nuss, 2010).
