Rather than panic or fear, or meaning to incite alarm of any kind,
I think it is valid to adjust whatever the usual planning is, that is normally done yearly,
in areas where natural problems usually occur,
adjust the plans, in order to take into account the way this particular year has added complications, due to the virus.
That would be common sense , and would be helpful, productive and positive, not meant to paralyze anyone with dread, but the opposite.
Having a plan in place, for emergencies, tht could address contingencies, often saves lives.
When I was working in hospitals and schools, our planning ahead for events that hopefully would not occur, was good planning, that helped everyone to know what to do, in anything similar that occurred.
I would think that there could be some prior planning done, that would help services be better,
in the possibility or likelihood,
tht the virus will still be around, when the upcoming times come, when emergeny shelters are very often needed and utilized.
We don't want more people harmed than necessary, by total lack of planning,
or to have people putting themselves at worse danger, due to valid fears of the serious illness, if they were to need to be evacuated, in any hurricane, which often occurs sometime in Late summer or early Autumn.
