Abstract

In the report “Deaths Related to Hurricane Irma — Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, September 4–October 10, 2017,” on page 829, the sixth sentence of the fifth paragraph should have read “Fourteen (10.9%) of the heat-related deaths occurred among geriatric patients with existing chronic diseases who resided in a nursing home in Florida that was without power for several days during a period of hot weather after the hurricane’s landfall.” In addition, on page 831, the second footnote of the figure should have read “Fourteen of the 17 heat-related deaths occurred in residents of a nursing home in Florida that was without power for several days.”
