The Atlantic Tropical storm season is still 74 days away (although tropical systems occasionally form prior to June 1st), and so hurricanes are probably not high on most people’s list of things to consider today.
Still, it is never too early to begin to prepare for a serious weather event. After all, spring is also tornado and flood season across much of the United States, and the world.
With that in mind, this week NOAA, FEMA, and the American Red Cross have released an updated preparedness guide for the 2011 tropical season.
Although only 12 pages in length, this colorful PDF file packs a lot of clear, concise information on tropical storms and the threats they contain; winds, floods, surge tides, and tornadoes.
Three pages deal with preparedness issues, including supplies checklists and details on creating a family emergency plan.
Well worth downloading and reviewing today.
