\begin{abstract}
It is well understood that natural disasters interact to affect the
resilience and prosperity of communities and disproportionately affect
low income families and communities of color. However, given the lack of
a common theoretical framework, it is rare for these interactions to be
well understood or quantified. As an example, we consider the
interaction of severe weather events (e.g., hurricanes and tornadoes)
and epidemics (e.g., COVID-19). Observing events unfolding in
southeastern U.S. communities has caused us to conjecture that the
interactive effects of catastrophic disturbances and stressors might be
much more considerable than previously recognized. For instance,
hurricane evacuations increase human aggregation, a key factor that
affects the transmission of acute respiratory infections like
SARS-CoV-2. Similarly, weather damage to health infrastructure could
significantly reduce a community's ability to provide services to people
sick with COVID-19 and other diseases. As globalization and human
population and movement continue to increase and weather events due to
climate change are becoming more intense and severe, such complex
interactions are expected to magnify and significantly impact
environmental and human health.%
