Weather 20/20 Releases 180-day Weather Disaster Predictions for Summer & Fall 2022

A Major Hurricane is forecast for 22 August – 3 September

Today Weather 20/20 LLC released its long-range weather disaster predictions for summer and fall 2022. The upcoming Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be less active than the past couple years. The forecast includes 12 named tropical storms, two below the average of 14. Of these named storms, six will be hurricane strength and two will be classified as major hurricanes, also below the seasonal average of three major hurricanes. Most of the activity will not strike the USA coastline with only 2 to 4 named storms predicted to make a USA landfall this year.

Businesses located in and serving the east coast of Florida are advised to increase their long-range disaster preparedness for the time window of 22 August to 3 September. The most likely scenario is for a major hurricane to develop and threaten eastern Florida in this two-week period. Louisiana has seen heavy tropical storm impact during the past two years but they are in one of the least likely landfall areas in 2022. Weather 20/20 predicted 7 of the 8 landfalling named tropical storms in 2021 weeks to months before each system developed.

“Our patent-pending model and weather forecast system allow our weather team to know when and where disasters are most likely to strike. Traditional, physics-based weather forecasting methods are only reliable out to five to ten days. That’s why businesses with weather-sensitive operations have a strong desire for accurate weather predictions for 180 days into the future, giving them months to plan and prepare” said Gary Lezak, Chief Meteorologist at KSHB-TV & Founder at Weather 20/20.

Weather 20/20’s proprietary “Lezak Recurring Cycle” or LRC, takes a superior approach to traditional forecasting. Weather 20/20 does not attempt to merely simulate the atmosphere; it identifies cycles in the atmosphere’s behavior over time. These cycles establish recurring patterns each year that can then be used to project forward actual weather conditions over long windows of time. The patent-pending model is global with accurate data being used by an increasing number of companies around the world. The LRC method uses what actually happened to predict what is going to happen.

Mediator Robert Heath Offers Suggestions for Disaster Claims

Mediator Robert Heath Offers Suggestions for Disaster ClaimsMediator Robert Heath Offers Suggestions for Disaster Claims

As the nation moves into windstorm and fire season, mediator Robert Heath has tips for home and business owners to assist with post-disaster insurance claims.

A Fellow of the American College of Civil Trial Mediators and the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals, Heath has mediated thousands of claims, many arising from hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, hail storms, and fires. He says there are things property owners can do before and after the disaster to help with claims.

“I’ve seen many policyholders who are not aware of what their insurance policy covers until after a disaster,” he said. “By then, in many cases, it’s too late. They should review the policy in advance while there is time to make changes, if necessary.”

Heath suggests homeowners document and photograph contents before disaster strikes because many items will be washed or burned away.

Heath is the principal of Robert Heath Mediation based in Pensacola, Florida which provides mediation and arbitration services throughout Florida and the United States. He has been appointed by the Florida Insurance Commissioner to mediate hurricane disaster claims and was an Appeals Panelist for the Deepwater Horizon Economic Loss Settlement, the largest mass settlement in United States history.

Medical Cot Disaster Relief Company Provides Westcot & Donor Ease Products

North Carolina-based Integrity Medical Solutions (IMS) is pleased to bring its disaster relief solutions to all those affected by either natural or man-made disasters. While other companies may focus on cleanup and rebuilding efforts, IMS focuses exclusively on the human component of such events. Their products and services are designed to help evacuees and support personnel who are either directly affected by the disaster in question or working to preserve the lives of others. This includes both First Responders and Caregivers.

In particular, the company offers a handful of distinct product lines that aim to support crucial parts of an evacuation or efforts to develop temporary housing in the event that hundreds (or perhaps even thousands) of people are displaced. The products they offer are meant to be rugged enough to withstand continuous use yet be comfortable to those in need as well. For instance, one of the first things that people lose in a widespread disaster is their homes. While large buildings in nearby unaffected areas can (for instance) temporarily be reassigned for housing needs, it is another matter entirely to appropriate enough furniture for each person in need.

Fortunately, Integrity Medical Solutions’ Westcot product line provides the answer. In one aspect, these are a series of beds that are designed to serve a variety of purposes, from giving the most vulnerable populations a way to recuperate to ensuring medical response teams are able to adequately treat any victims who have been physically harmed in the disaster that prevented them from using their homes. Most if not all of these products are ADA compliant and address a specific need.

For example, the Westcot Functional Needs Cot is built low enough that an individual in a wheelchair would find it easier to transfer themselves to it with relative ease. This is also true for those in cases where injuries have made a patient less mobile, so medical personnel and others may assist such individuals with less strenuous effort. Given that disasters tend to generate many injuries in a short span of time, often placing enormous stress on the area’s medical facilities, any feature that reduces the effort a Caregiver has to utilize can mean the difference between life or death for the people in their care.

As its product description states, the Functional Needs Cot “Offers safety and comfort for the survivor and ease of use for the Responder(s) tasked with their care. Decontamination protocols and remedial storage for the Response Personnel is simplified with the WCFNC. It is intended for multiple deployments over extended periods of time at fixed or portable shelters, portable hospitals, assisted living facilities and anywhere a fully functional or Special Needs Cot is required.” Several Westcot products feature the following: a lightweight and rustproof aluminum frame, a folding design that ensures it can be stored easily as well as take up much less space when not in use and an antimicrobial soil-resistant mattress.

While disasters are known for causing various injuries, few tend to realize that this means blood supplies in the region can be exhausted quite quickly due to how many people suffer from blood loss. As such, any item that supports the efforts of medical personnel to swiftly restock with the help of donors can help save lives – and this is where the DonorEase product line comes in. These durable chairs are designed to endure as numerous people make use of them over the course of a long day, providing a firm platform from which medical personnel may work with the donor in question.

For instance, the DonorEase Tilt boasts several features that make it highly functional in such situations. This includes medical grade upholstery that is easy to clean as well as stain and abrasion resistant, an integrated ‘donor cubby’ that can be used to store a donor’s personal effects, powder coated steel construction that is durable yet easy to decontaminate and even a ‘quick switch’ replaceable mattress deck that can be removed and replaced in under a minute.

Its product description states, “The DonorEase Tilt is based on the same design platform and manufacturing specifications as the DonorEase Comfort while providing the ability to treat donor reactions. By simply releasing a pin, the donor is quickly and easily placed in the Trendelenberg position.”

Those who wish to explore how the Westcot and DonorEase catalogs can improve disaster relief efforts are welcome to contact Shaun Taylor of Integrity Medical Solutions for further details. Additional information regarding these products’ intended purpose and construction can be found on the company’s official website as well.
