FEMA Kicks Off Hurricane Season Communicating with Hurricane-Prone States
The VTC, held at FEMA’s National Response Coordination Center in Washington D.C., allowed participants to discuss their current level of hurricane readiness and preparations for this upcoming hurricane season. The VTC illustrated how important communication is between state and federal partners during a disaster. After the video portion, Administrator Paulison addressed questions from the media, where he stressed the importance of personal preparedness. He noted that it was incumbent on each individual to become better prepared to sustain themselves in the event they were struck by a hurricane.
