FEMA Private Sector Update: Hurricane Preparedness Week

President Obama declared May 22-28 "National Hurricane Preparedness Week." FEMA, along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is helping to raise awareness of steps that can be taken to help protect citizens, businesses, and communities and property.  Hurricanes are powerful storms that can create severe flooding, dangerous storm surges, high winds, and tornadoes.  Being prepared can make a world of difference.
To assist you in your efforts, we have created a one-stop Web site www.Ready.gov/hurricanes – with information for businesses and the public, a downloadable Web site widget, Web-ready content for newsletters and Web sites, recommended training, and additional Web links.
The devastation of the recent tornados and floods remind us that preparedness is not about any one week, season or geography.  For preparedness information for all types of disasters, visit www.ready.gov/business and www.ready.gov.
