HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS JUNE 1: ARE YOU RED CROSS READY?
May 26, 2009
Pascagoula, MS – We know that being prepared can save lives and property during a disaster. The American Red Cross of Southeast Mississippi urges everyone to dust off their disaster supplies kit and get better prepared now for a variety of disasters such as hurricanes and the high winds, flooding and tornadoes that may accompany them.
“By taking three basic preparedness actions you can get “Red Cross Ready” for disasters and other emergencies 1) Get a kit, 2) Make a plan and 3) Be informed,” said Paige Roberts, Executive Director of the Chapter, “Your local Red Cross chapter is here to help you get prepared for specific disasters like hurricanes. Even if you took action to prepare last hurricane season, it’s important that you revisit and update your communication plan and check your disaster supplies kit for expired items.”
