The Alliance for Healthy Homes (the Alliance) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) have posted fact sheets for residents returning to hurricane impact zones. The fact sheets are designed for ease of use by journalists, community-based organizations, property owners, emergency response personnel, and residents, and serve as a complement to recovery tips and recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A top ten list of quick tips to protect your family from housing-related health hazards in hurricane impact zones is available here.
