Subject: Re: Just following up
Hi Alisa, I just wanted to follow up and see if you would be interested in sharing the infographic from Eastern Kentucky University with your readers, because it highlights the concerns over hospitals as safe havens during natural disasters and pinpoints some of the highest risks. Thanks so much for your time. Any feedback is appreciated.
Best, Joe

Subject: Pitch: Examining hospitals as safe havens during natural disasters
Hi Alisa,
In recent years, natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy, have forced many people to vacate their homes and seek safe haven inside of hospitals, but last winter a Consumer Reports study showed that hospitals are vulnerable to flooding, lacking innovation with generators, and pose safety concerns in the event of natural disaster. It is for this reason that I wanted to see if you would be interesting in posting an infographic from the Safety and Emergency Management program at Eastern Kentucky University at ALS Assistive Technology that highlights hospitals in terms of disaster preparation. For example, the infographic showcases the top five at risk states, including New Jersey, Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama, and the estimated property damage to look at what demographics need to think most about their safety and the quality of their hospitals during an emergency. The infographic highlights hospitals key safety concerns and uses Hurricane Sandy as a case study. For instance, 89% of hospitals in New York were declared disaster areas during Hurricane Sandy, and the infographic analyzes how they held.
Thanks so much for your time. Please share the infographic with your readers or let me know if you would like to talk to some of the professors at EKU who specialize in safety issues. Any feedback is appreciated.Best, Joe
