New Registry Study Finds Increased Injuries after Hurricanes

Survivors of the World Trade Center disaster who lived in the Tri-State area during Hurricane Sandy experienced multiple types of injuries. 

Registry researchers sent surveys to 8,870 enrollees living in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut five months after the storm. Among the 4,435 respondents who lived in flooded areas, 10 percent reported injuries, and nearly three quarters of them had more than one injury. The greatest number of injuries occurred among people who attempted clean-up or repair work in a damaged or destroyed home. The most common injuries were arm/hand cuts and back strain. The risk of injury was greater among those who had more flooding in their homes, whether or not they evacuated. The highest percentage of injuries, about 39 percent, was among responders who evacuated by walking or swimming. Hurricane preparation and messages to warn people about the potential for injury during evacuation and clean-up or repair might help reduce the amount and severity of injuries after a hurricane.
