The Florida Dept of Health and Rehabilitative Services and the US Army conducted active surveillance for gastrointestinal illness, respiratory illness, injury and other conditions by monitoring civilian and service visits to care sites from August 30 to September 1992, after Hurricane Andrew. Injuries were an important source of morbidity throughout the surveillance period, especially among service members. Enteric and respiratory agents did not cause disease outbreaks, despite rumors to the contrary
