This year, Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 20-26, 2007.
The National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have provided an excellent Hurricane Preparedness website for the benefit of anyone living in the US Coastal areas that are prone to Hurricane Landfalls.
It is of utmost importance for coastal residents to know the potential dangers of Hurricanes and to be prepared to deal with the issues of personal safety, property preparation and evacuation procedures well in advance of the 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season which officially starts June 01. Our weather phenomena and studies group, headquartered in southern Alabama, also recommends that each family living in such coastal areas, invest in a good quality Weather Alert Radio which uses the regional broadcasts from NOAA to provide you with important safety information.
Please review the details provided in this very important Hurricane Preparedness website listed below. Thank you and be safe!
