The primary risks during the hurricane season include destructive winds, storm surges, heavy rainfall, and tornadoes. These hazards can lead to widespread power outages, infrastructure damage, and life-threatening flooding. Veterans, particularly those with medical needs or limited mobility, are at heightened risk due to potential disruptions in healthcare access. The VA warns that even a modest storm can escalate into a crisis if individuals are unprepared. Vulnerable populations, including those relying on medical devices or living alone, are strongly advised to take proactive measures to mitigate risks.
