Post-Hurricane Disease Vector and Pest Awareness Bulletin
Excessive rain events are often followed by large numbers of host-seeking mosquitoes. This can increase the chance of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases and secondary infections that may occur as a result of mosquito bites. Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus and Zika virus, among other diseases. In addition, storm-related power outages are common after hurricanes, and can exacerbate mosquito and other pest problems.
