There have been many hurricanes before, but not like Andrew. It changed many things, not just for Miami, but across the US: how everyone prepares for hurricanes, building codes, insurance practices, mitigation efforts, the list is long.
Andrew also ignited my passion for the excitement and reward of giving back to the community in times of disaster. That feeling carried me through decades of working in the catastrophe business. I’ve had the privilege of meeting many wonderful unsung heroes, the many people who help organize the chaos that is the disaster response and recovery world.
These champions need to have their stories told and that’s why I do this…these are the Weather Heroes.
Some "Andrew" voices you will hear:
Bryan Norcross - TV Meteorologist Extraordinaire and kept everyone company during the storm.
Bob Sheets - Director of the National Hurricane Center.
Kate Hale - Director of Dade County’s Office of Emergency Management.
