Extreme heat during hurricane recovery, like after Hurricane Beryl in 2024, severely endangered emergency workers in Texas, prompting calls to recognize heat as a major hurricane hazard.
A University of Georgia study finds that extreme heat during hurricane recovery, like after Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, poses a serious but often overlooked danger to emergency workers, with heat stress exceeding safety limits up to 100% of the time in southeastern Texas.
Power outages and prolonged outdoor work worsened risks, leading to a surge in heat-related illnesses.
Researchers stress that heat kills more Americans annually than other weather disasters and urge official recognition of heat as a fifth hurricane hazard, calling for coordinated heat management strategies including cooling stations, team rotations, and better interagency planning.
