Part I
We are presently in the midst of the 2011 hurricane season. Things have been quiet so far, but we are now being alerted to the possibility of Hurricane Irene coming up the east coast with Long Island probably feeling some of the effects by Saturday evening.
As of 2:30 pm Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center was reporting that “Hurricane Irene conditions were expected to reach the Turks and Caicos Islands very soon…”.No one knows what our weather will be this weekend or later next week. For now, what we can do is prepare. (Are you aware of the 5.9 EARTHQUAKE that occurred just before 2pm today?)
Before making yourself available to help friends and the community at large during a local or regional emergency or disaster, first take care of yourself and your family’s needs.
