National Hurricane Preparedness Week: May 24-30, 2009 |
The goal of National Hurricane Preparedness Week is to inform the public about hurricane hazards. Since hurricane hazards come in many forms (storm surge, high winds, tornadoes, and flooding), it is important for citizens to have the knowledge and a plan that accounts for all these possible hazards. This can save lives at work, home, while on the road, or on the water. We encourage you to visit www.hurricanes.gov/prepare to review the safety actions associated with each type of hurricane hazard and prepare a family and community disaster plans accordingly. |
