This is the last weekend before the start of the 2009 Hurricane Season. In a couple of days it will be June 1, 2009, and the 2009 Hurricane Season will begin. The season seems to be getting a head start as Tropical Depression 1 has formed over the Atlantic Ocean. According to the NWS as of 11:00am ET, the storm was located approximately 310 miles south of Providence, Rhode Island and moving out to the North Atlantic. While there is almost no chance of TD 1 striking land, it is an opportune time to think about the coming season.
Make this coming weekend the "your get ready weekend". Get your plan in order, run a complete data backup of your system, and make sure you and your organization share the plan with all the staff, especially when it comes time to ask for volunteers. As the storm is making landfall is not the time to be asking for help, you should already know who can and cannot help. It is that simple.
For those of you that live in the Gulf Coast region, share your plan with your family and friends that way they know what your plans are.
I will be sharing more with you throughout the season. So, for now go get ready.
