Common Injuries after Storms

Falls from ladders, dehydration, heat exhaustion, carbon monoxide exposure, cuts, abrasions, lacerations, and stress are common injuries after storms. Dr. Sergio Segarra, Chief Medical Officer with Baptist Hospital of Miami, says carbon monoxide exposure is very preventable. "The key to that is having your generator far enough from any of your windows, and having it far away from any intake into your home."
