“…This challenge was evident with previous findings that during the deathliest hurricane category 5 event, there are people who will remain in their residences in the Rio Grande Valley [19]. This daunting task could be amplified with the existing condition of low level of disaster preparedness among the residents [20].…”

(1) Background: Cameron County, which is located in the Rio Grande Valley, holds historical records for storm surges with noticeable property damage, fatalities, and injuries; (2) Methods: using storm surge hazard datasets from the National Oceanic and Atlantic Agency (NOAA), and American Community Survey (ACS) 2019 datasets and Geographic Information System (GIS), the study estimates at-risk population and their socio-demographic attributes; (4) Conclusions: Estimated water levels of a storm surge could be reached up to 5 feet in category 1 event, 9 feet in category 2, 17 feet in category 3, and above 20 feet in category 4 and 5. In the category 5 event, there is an estimated 37% (159,659) of the total county’s population (434,294) will be under flooded water. Suggestions are made to better prepare and successfully evaluate.

“…This mandatory evacuation order could pose challenges to authorities because there could be people who would remain in their residences even after the order was issued (Kyne et al ., 2018). This daunting task could be amplified by a low level of disaster preparedness among the residents (Kyne et al ., 2020).…”

“…(see Miceli, Sotgiu, and Settanni, 2008). However, if disasters are rare, the preparedness and risk perception may be quite low (in the case of hurricanes see Kyne et. al., 2020).…”

In this paper, the author continues developing a philosophy of multiple simultaneous un/natural disasters (MSD) in terms of further development of epistemology of know-how, and the ontology of appearance/reality of such disasters, mostly in the light of globally relevant disasters during 2021, namely floods in central China and in Germany and Belgium, wildfires in Siberia, etc. The paper is a continuation of the research from the initial paper “Un/natural disasters, Philosophy of multiple simultaneous un/natural disasters” (Krkač, 2022) which concerns philosophy of MSDs during 2020, mostly in Croatia within the global context. The main issues in this text are epistemology and ontology of and in multiple simultaneous un/natural disasters, in terms of know-how and appearance-reality distinction. These are being analyzed in conceptual-morphological terms, the goal of which is reaching clear concepts of know-how and reality of and in MSDs which seem to have importance for our understanding of MSDs, deciding, and acting before, in, and after them. The critical finding is concerned with the fact that beyond global MSD hotspots, and beyond special services equipped and trained to act before, during and after MSDs, there is little understanding of and preparedness for MSDs, globally speaking and on average. This overall lack seems to be obvious, and the clearest proofs of it are MSDs in the period between 2020 and 2022.
