> explain how to prepare for a cat 5 hurricane that envelops your entire landmass for 24 hours in 3 paragraphs or less. fucked if i know. there's only been 41 storms like that in the last 100 years so it's not like anybody has experience. that's kind of the point, how the fuck do you do any of this better when literally all your infrastructure over thousands of square miles gets flattened? logistics look even worse when you're on a fucking island. i'd imagine first priority is set up local shelters where possible and try to get people and what supplies you have to central locations where they can be accounted for and rationed what supplies you have, then re-open/repair ports, prioritize and organize what supplies you need than work your way from ports inward to restore infrastructure enough to even reach more centrally located populations and infrastructure.  there's great options these days for communications though between traditional ham radio and modern satellite com options. i'd imagine there's a group near you who does larps with coms gear preparing for the next storm. get involved with them, think about this, network with people who have participated in this before. whitey isn't always going to be there to wipe your arse, get the fuck involved with your neighbors, start planning now and figure it out because you know it's not if but when you guys get smoked by a hurricane again.
