In reading an article this morning entitle "County to Host Emergency 2013 Preparedness Conference" a thought comes to mind regarding the annual preparedness month which is in September. The county has decided to use the approaching hurricane season to advance public preparedness outreach. In support of this effort they have secured the assistance of a number of agencies and organizations at the local and state level. The spring and summer seasons bring with them a host of hazards such as severe weather, tornado activity, extreme heat events, and of course tropical storms and hurricanes. With this in mind, conducting public outreach now is a prudent approach which emergency managers should take notice of and consider implementing in their jurisdictions.
Kudos to the folks in Cape May, NJ!
