The American Red Cross is preparing for the 2009 hurricane season, and urges people who live in areas prone to big storms also prepare. The season officially begins on June 1 and runs through the end of November.
Hurricane Warning Flags
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the 2009 season will be near normal with four to seven hurricanes likely. Predictions call for nine to 14 named storms and 1 to 3 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher.
“The time to get ready is now,” said Joe Becker, senior vice president of Red Cross Disaster Services, “Go over your plan and make sure it is still current. Get out your kit and see if anything needs to be replaced.”
