Host Matthew Peddie talks with meteorologist Megan Borowski from the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network.
And later on in the episode, we’ll hear from former FEMA administrator Craig Fugate about the threats posed by hurricanes today, lessons learned from previous storms, and how Florida’s ever expanding population can prepare.
He says the state’s affordable housing crisis adds an extra layer to the challenge of rebuilding after storms.
