MARO Monthly June 2024 Newsletter: Hurricane Preparedness

Atlantic Hurricane Season is June 1st through November 30th. The results of a major hurricane hitting our area could be devastating. It could force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services, water, gas, electricity, or telephones were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. Families can and do cope with disasters such as hurricanes by preparing in advance and working together as a team.
