In this episode, Jeff Hamlin is joined by Mitch Patterson, Emergency Services Outreach Leader for OnStar, to discuss preparations for the current hurricane season. Last year, the United States faced 28 disaster events, resulting in nearly $93 billion in losses. With an 85% chance of above-normal hurricane activity forecasted for the Atlantic Coast this year, and up to 25 named storms expected, preparation is more crucial than ever. Mitch shares how OnStar answered nearly a million emergency calls and supported 160 crisis events in 2023, including Hurricane Idalia, where OnStar activated Crisis Mode.
