Hurricanes: One-Stop Info SourceHurricane Symbol

Each of the 1st Congressional District's 5 counties is at risk of being impacted by a hurricane or tropical storm. To assist my constituents with preparing for the annual hurricane season, I have developed this site to provide up-to-date information about storms and shelters, tips on how to prepare your home, and other useful information. I hope you find this information useful.
