Hurricanes can wreak havoc on communities and livelihoods. If your workforce has been impacted by a recent hurricane, the devastating flooding, high winds, damaged property, and other repercussions can cause additional challenges. Incidents like this can cause those affected with an overwhelming sense of grief, fear, and uncertainty which can lead to extreme feelings of stress. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30, and it’s important to be prepared if you are located in a hurricane-prone location.  For resources to support your workforce when faced with the effects of a hurricane, please see the below.
