Noaa's National Weather Service has designated Sunday, may 26
through Saturday, June 1, 2013, as National hurricane preparedness
week.

National hurricane preparedness week highlights the importance
of planning ahead to protect families and to secure our homes and
properties in advance of the upcoming hurricane season.

Hurricanes are powerful storms that can create severe flooding,
dangerous storm surge, high winds, and tornadoes. The effects of
these storms can be devastating to entire communities and have long
lasting impacts. In addition to the threat posed to coastal areas,
hurricanes also impact inland locations.

Each day during National hurricane preapredness week will focus on a
specific theme to inform you about hurricane hazards or provide
information which can be used to take action. This information can
be used to save lives and property.

The themes for each day for the week are:

Monday... storm surge
Tuesday... winds
Wednesday... inland flooding
Thursday... forecast process
Friday... get a plan
Saturday... take action
