My first week at Disney and guess what…. Hurricane Irma! Everyone basically dropped off their suitcases and ran away from the hurricane. The only thing that I did not enjoy was that our training days were pushed back and because of that we were not able to work through the hurricane days which people who did made a lot of money for volunteering and got to stay in the resorts which would have been a good experience. During the hurricane it was only one of my roommates and I the other ones went home because they were scared of the hurricane. Thankfully only a couple trees and branches fell down in the complexes and no major damage was made.

Yes, working the hurricane shifts would have provided you with a lot of income but, as Disney states, safety is of the utmost importance. What can you still learn about the way Disney handles emergency situations?
Disney was quick in handling emergencies during the hurricane. All resorts, and parks were ready when the hurricane landed in Florida and took all the right measures in order to protect their guests. The parks were closed until two days after the hurricane was over and all resorts had extra cast members helping out and being there to provide games and fun things to do with every guests. Staying away from windows and glass door in case of any tree falling down. I would say Disney was ready and quick with their emergencies. Also, after the hurricane they had volunteers and cast members cleaning up after the hurricane and making everything look magical once again for after the hurricane.
