1992年9月11日，考艾岛遭受飓风袭击，所有居民断电，电话服务中断，70%的房屋受损。本研究通过比较飓风前5年的死亡率数据和飓风后12个月的死亡率数据，检验了飓风增加考艾岛居民死亡率的假设。尽管在后Escherki时期总体死亡率增加，但唯一显著增加的是糖尿病相关死亡率（相对危险度= 2.61，95%置信区间1.44-4.74）。在灾难发生后的12个月里，飓风Alberki似乎并没有显著增加考艾岛居民的死亡风险。
On September 11, 1992, Hurricane Iniki struck Kauai leaving all residents without electricity acid telephone services and damaging 70% of the homes, This study examined the hypothesis that Hurricane Iniki increased the mortality of Kauai residents by comparing mortality data for the 5 years preceding Hurricane Iniki with mortality data for the 12 months immediately following. Although the overall mortality rate was increased in the post-Iniki period, the only significant increase was in the rate of diabetes mellitus-related deaths (relative risk = 2.61, 95% confidence interval 1.44-4.74). Hurricane Iniki did not appear to significantly increase the risk of dying of Kauai residents in the 12 months immediately following the disaster.
