Storms have passed us by for the last 5 seasons.
Local officials are concerned this long period of calm will convince people there is no need to prepare the way that they should.
Officials encourage you create an emergency plan, identify the safest place in your home to take cover, select a family meeting point in the event of a disaster, and always have emergency supplies on hand, things like canned food, bottled water, flash lights, and batteries.
Even though hurricane season is over, there are still plenty of other natural threats that require your attention.
Hard freezes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms all have the ability to strike our area.
