In this panel, experts in anesthesiology, weather analytics, and spatial science will explore innovative, data-driven approaches to crisis management for healthcare systems during hurricanes. With climate change intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, healthcare facilities face unprecedented challenges in ensuring continuity of care and patient safety during crises. This session will delve into real-time data utilization from recent hurricanes, focusing on the application of predictive weather analytics and spatial data to enhance decision-making in hospital operations and emergency response. The interdisciplinary panel will share insights from hurricanes like Helene and Milton, demonstrating how to anticipate challenges, optimize resource allocation, and refine patient safety protocols by integrating data streams from health, weather, and geospatial information systems. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for applying these insights within their own organizations to bolster crisis readiness and resilience.
