2012 Hurricane season is almost here

Hurricane season 2012 is almost here.  Are you ready?   Hurricane season here in central Florida and the North Atlantic is June 1 to November 30 each year.  Experts will be publishing their predictions soon and it is expected they will forecast an average year.  The problem is that it only takes one big storm to creat serious problems and it sure pays to be ready.  Once a storm is on the way the batteries, water and other supplies you may need will be in short supply so get ready NOW!

The Florida division of emergency management has a website where you can build a disaster plan for your home or for your business.   For help creating your disaster plan, visit www.floridadisaster.org.  
Visit the Volusia County emergency management web site at http://www.volusia.org/emergency/  for updated information and a PDF disaster preparedness checklist.  There is also lots of information at the FEMA web site at www.fema.gov/

Just be prepared and hope we don't need to implement our disaster plans.

Al, Can't believe it's time to think about the hurricane season already but this is a great reminder for those living in the area to prepare and linking to the website is a great start!

Hi Al,

You can never be too prepared when it comes to fighting mother nature.

Remember she will always win.

Have a great day and a safe Hurricane season.

It is always good to have a Plan A and a Plan B. I hope this year produces no storms that cause major harm or any harm

Hello Al,

This shows that you have great proactive skills, which is a great skill to have not only in business but in life in general. The ability to plan ahead vs waiting until something actually happens in RE can as you know potentially save problems and dollars down the road. Great post.

Good morning Al -

Hurricane season 2012 is almost here.  Are you ready? A good question for those in the line of these huge storms. Here in the high desert we're praying for a half inch of rain. We normally have eight inches a year in rain. Makes a hurricane season seem so very far away.

Have a great day and enjoy all you do my friend.

John

Congratulations on the featured blog AL. Hurricane season has got off to an early start. As we have seen here in New England the last few years, Hurricanes can make a direct path at us, although the winds tend to be lower than when they hit Florida, the flooding leaves wide spread distruction.

Yikes, don't remind me! The news reported the first tropical storm headed for the coast which is a little early for hurricane season. Always makes me cringe because I have a beach house in OBX and I'm not ready to open my wallet to weather damage repairs!

Good morning Al, we learned this as children in the Scouts program, 'Be prepared." It still holds true in everything else, especially hurricane season.

We know the drill well since we've lived on a barrier island for many years and went through the '04 storms. It is time to inventory our hurricane kit, update the important papers and, most importantly, find a few nice hotels that accept pets if we need to leave. I know what I'll be doing over the Memorial Day weekend...

There is the drawback to living down there.  However, we have tornadoes. So...

Wishing you a very safe hurricane season, Al.

I hate tornadoes.  I can't imagine being in a hurricane.  Good warning, Al.
