Diagnosis Path: Diagnosis of injuries related to hurricanes involves a physical examination by healthcare professionals, assessment of environmental exposure, and conducting necessary imaging tests such as X-rays for fractures or internal injuries. Medical history focusing on recent weather events and trauma sources helps in identifying storm-related injuries. Emergency assessments are crucial for severe cases to determine the extent of damage and necessary interventions.

Treatment Protocols: Treatment for hurricane-related injuries varies depending on the severity and type of injury. Immediate care may include wound cleaning, stitches, and stabilization for fractures or trauma. Management of flood-related illnesses involves prompt treatment of infections and dehydration.
