Florida residents affected by hurricane Ian are still facing a variety of challenges, from housing issues to financial hurdles.
Preliminary estimates suggest that Hurricane Ian, which hit Florida in late September 2022, produced at least $50-65 billion in property and infrastructure losses, making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history. For residents navigating property damage, the idea of rebuilding may seem out of the question due to the variety of challenges that many are still facing in early 2023. From the aftermath of the storm to the obstacles that residents and homeowners are facing, here are just some of the Ian effects.
According to the Florida Medical Examiners Commission, the Category 4 storm killed nearly 150 people. With hundreds still displaced more than four months later, living in tents, cars, motels, or trailers, has become a stark reality for many residents. An article from The Washington Post details the lives that people have led since the disaster hit. Many, for instance, are left to wonder whether they’ll receive recovery money from their insurance companies, the state, the federal government (or a combination, notes the Post).
Another frustrating effect left behind by the flooding that Ian brought is the mold and mildew, which continues to ravage several homes. Mold thrives in warm, moist environments, and can appear quickly after a home is flooded, making mold growth an issue that any homeowner could potentially encounter. Due to the health issues from mold exposure, getting the issue inspected, tested, and removed as soon as possible is imperative.
