It's a gorgeous spring day here in New York and much of the northeast. The beautiful sunshine and warmth of this great afternoon should be enjoyed and relished. It must however not be lost upon those of us in emergency management and to those of us we serve in our communities and businesses that the same season that brings us this great afternoon is also fraught with weather hazards. We are currently in the season that often brings with it fire weather danger, severe weather, tornadoes flooding; and, of course hurricane season is right around the corner. This year forecasters are calling for 16 named storms with five of those reaching major hurricane status. Our friends at the The Weather Channel have a brief video on this year's season. We will be talking about the hurricane preparedness much more in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the weather and let's keep in mind that we have much work to do to prepare for current weather threats and the upcoming season.
Be safe out there . . .
