Background
During the recent storm, many people were left without power, water or any means of communication for days, with some reports of gusts up to 123 mph. The isolation and lack of support caused significant fear and put people at risk. A review is needed to understand these failures and better protect communities, especially those who are elderly and vulnerable.
