Did you know that hurricane season in the Atlantic begins June 1st and ends November 30th? Or that the Eastern Pacific hurricane season begins May 15th and also ends November 30th?
Lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 25th – May 31st. In honor of National Hurricane Preparedness Week, we ask that all residents take time to build an emergency kit, make a family communication plan and create a Smart911 Safety Profile at www.smart911.com no matter if you have a place near the ocean’s shore or not. Take these steps now to reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster.
