Associations of hurricane exposure and forecasting with impaired birth outcomes

J. Hochard, Y. Li, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Jacob Hochard, Yuanhao Li, and Nino Abashidze investigates over 700,000 births during Hurricane Irene, revealing that exposure to the storm is linked to poorer birth outcomes. The findings highlight the critical advantage of accurate forecasting to reduce preterm births and the need for effective disaster preparedness in healthcare.

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.
