Look familiar?

Hurricane Preparedness:

Summer is approaching and that means another hurricane season is soon to begin. While June 1^st marks the official start of hurricane season, May is a month for hurricane awareness and preparation. The National Hurricane Center states,

“A lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. By knowing your vulnerability and what actions you should take, you can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster.”

This year National Hurricane Preparedness Week will be held May 15^th through May 21^st. The goal of Hurricane Preparedness Week is to help educate citizens by providing information about hurricane hazards and preparation, to help protect the public and their families. The more you know about preparing yourself the better you will be able to handle a disaster.
