Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a public health emergency of international concern throughout 2020, surpassing 30 million cases and 1 million deaths worldwide during September. As we progress through the peak of the 2020 cyclone seasons, the COVID-19 threat will intersect with the growing risk from extreme storms, spurred by global environmental climate change.1 Evidence continues to mount that climate change is making tropical systems stronger (rapid intensification, higher peak wind speeds, and more category 4 and 5 storms), wetter (towering storm surge, elevated precipitation rates and rainfall totals, and coastal and inland flooding risks), and slower forward moving when they come onshore.2, 3 As a corollary, as climate change modifies the behaviour of tropical cyclones, human health is imperiled for storm-impacted communities, as these populations are exposed to more injurious and traumatising storm hazards, coupled with incapacitating damage to infrastructure, crippling resource losses, enduring life changes, and disproportionate effects on the most vulnerable.4, 5
