The study highlights that tropical cyclones account for roughly 3.2% to 5.1% of all deaths in the Lower 48 states, equating to about 55,280 to 88,080 excess deaths.
Research indicates that indirect deaths, such as stress exacerbating chronic conditions post-storm, significantly contribute to the long-term health impacts and mortality trends following tropical cyclones.
The financial strain from home repairs after storms can limit healthcare spending, resulting in consequential health choices that impact long-term wellness and mortality.
Public health resources decline following storms due to reduced tax revenues, straining healthcare systems and affecting the overall health outcomes in storm-impacted communities.
