September 2020 Newsletter

Posted On  September 1, 2020

Welcome back to Disaster Discourse Monthly!

Welcome back to Disaster Discourse Monthly. This month, we offer updates regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic, a busy hurricane season, and provide information on fires that have been impacting the Western United States (US). Additionally, Hagerty has launched a new site highlighting our firm’s expertise in infrastructure resilience.
The site went live yesterday, October 1st.

The COVID-19 Pandemic…

The US has recorded that over 7.1 million people have been infected with COVID-19 ( an 18.3% increase in recorded cases from last month) while globally, over 1,000,000 have died from the virus.

Hurricane Season continues to break records as Greek Alphabet is used to name new Storms…

This Atlantic Hurricane season continues to break records as Tropical Storms and hurricanes are now being named by the Greek Alphabet. This is only the second time in recorded history that the Greek Alphabet has been used to name storms during a single hurricane season. At one time in September, there were five active systems in the Atlantic — one hurricane, one tropical storm, and three disturbances with the potential to become storms.

Fires in the West…

Throughout the month of September, fires have wreaked havoc on the western half of the United States. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) , to-date, wildfires across the state have burned 3.75 million acres of land. Smoke from dozens of wildfires spread across California and the western US dispersed across the country and into Mexico, Canada, and Europe.

The 19th Anniversary of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks…

This year, in honor of the anniversary of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks, Hagerty employees paused to reflect on their personal experiences and how the events of that day propelled their career in emergency management. Watch the founder and CEO of Hagerty reflect on the events that took place that day and share his story here.

Thanks for reading. We’ll see you next month and stay healthy!
