2020 is one for the history books!
Disasters are generally what drives people to come to this the Disaster Zone blog. Years with large-scale disasters, those that attract widespread attention, cause people beyond emergency managers to look for disaster information.
Thus, 2020 was a BIG year for Disaster Zone. Because of COVID-19 and the uncertainty at first, people were hungry for information. Today I totaled up the number of blog posts (802 — yikes!).
The total number of Web hits or views topped out at 499,000, almost half a million, for all of 2020. Over the past 11 years of blogging, there have been a total of 2.77 million hits for the blog.
Thanks to all the readers who occasionally send me information to share. I only have so much capacity to find items of interest in the professional field of emergency management, so your sharing helps a great deal.
Best wishes to everyone for a safe and sane 2021. Who knows what it will bring? For that, watch for my 2021 predictions in another blog post.
Covering the before, during and after of events that are impacting communities around the world.
