The National Hurricane Survival Initiative
The  2006 hurricane season is upon us, and by now most of you don't need to be told this means serious business. Unfortunately, even after last year's disastrous Hurricane Katrina, a "dangerously high percentage" of folks in harm's way remain unprepared. This site, representing the efforts of a consortium of government agencies, nonprofit groups, and private businesses, aims to help those who live in a storm's potential path prepare for the worst. Resources include safety checklists, steps for early preparation, and a list of hurricane "don'ts." (Masking tape on windows and buying candles are a no-go.) The "Hurricanes 101" section offers a quick overview of what these beasts are and how the Saffir-Simpson scale measures them. 2006 may prove to be a worse season than 2005, so, please, act now.
