Hurricane Preparedness Week
History teaches that 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.
Hurricane hazards come in many forms, including storm surge, heavy rainfall, inland flooding, high winds, tornadoes,
and rip currents. The National Weather Service is responsible for protecting life and property through issuance
of timely watches and warnings, but it is essential that your family be ready
before a storm approaches. Furthermore, mariners should be aware of special safety precautions when confronted with a hurricane.

or follow the links for more information. But remember, this is only a guide. The first and most
important thing anyone should do when facing a hurricane threat is to use common sense.
National Hurricane Preparedness Week 2015 runs from May 24th through May 30th.
