Abstract
This observational study examines over 700,000 births in the path of Hurricane Irene and finds exposure was associated with impaired birth outcomes. Additional warning time decreased preterm birth rates for women with intense storm exposures, highlighting a benefit of avoiding forecasting errors. Disaster anticipation disrupted healthcare services, potentially contributing to impacted birth outcomes. The study emphasizes the importance of judicious forecasts to mitigate climate damages.
