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 Preparedness Week during 2008 will be held May 25th through May 31st.
The goal of this Hurricane Preparedness Web site is to inform the public about the hurricane hazards and provide knowledge which can be used to take ACTION. This information can be used to save lives at work, home, while on the road, or on the water.

Hurricane hazards come in many forms: storm surge (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/storm_surge.shtml), high winds (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/high_winds.shtml), tornadoes (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/tornadoes.shtml), and flooding (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/inland_flood.shtml). This means it is important for your family to have a plan (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/prepare/family_plan.shtml) that includes all of these hazards. Look carefully at the safety actions associated with each type of hurricane hazard and prepare your family disaster plan accordingly. 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.
You should be able to answer the following questions before a hurricane threatens:
What are the Hurricane Hazards?
What does it mean to you?
What actions should you take to be prepared?
