NOAA- National Hurricane Preparedness Week
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.
This year Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 21-27, 2006. 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.

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:
