“The best way to help your community recover from a disaster is by taking steps now to prepare yourself and your family BEFORE a disaster strikes.
“More than 20,000 FEMA employees across the nation stand ready to support our state, local, tribal and territorial partners in hurricane prone areas to provide any help they may need to protect lives and property,” said Administrator Criswell. “Even if you’re experiencing disaster fatigue due to your experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, we all must use the lessons learned from it to prepare for potential disasters on the horizon.”Īlthough FEMA has had a very busy year supporting President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccination mission and other disasters, the agency is ready to handle future disasters. “FEMA’s mission to help people before, during and after disasters has never been more critical, given our shared experience during this pandemic,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. Remember, hurricanes are not just a coastal problem, so it’s important to know the risks where you live: rain, wind and flooding could happen far from the coast. Now is the time to prepare your home and your family.
No matter what the hurricane season outlook predicts, it’s important to remember that it only takes one storm to devastate a community. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released the 2021 outlook, which predicts another active season. WASHINGTON - June 1 marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season.
