Preparing for the 2013 hurricane season May 31st, 2013
The official start of the
hurricane season begins on June 1, 2013. Hurricanes can cause catastrophic
damage to coastlines and several hundred miles inland and produce winds
exceeding 155 miles per hour. There are several major hazards associated with
hurricanes, including:
·Storm surge and storm tide ·Heavy rainfall and inland flooding ·High winds ·Rip currents ·Tornadoes
Do you have a disaster plan in
place? Many fire and EMS departments do not, which is why VFIS developed a
program on "Emergency Service Organization Disaster Planning &
Business Continuity." This resource was designed to help ESOs deal with
the impact that natural disasters can have on its organization. The program is
available as a CD with a manual, fill-in worksheets and other resources. To
order the program (Item: C10:291), call VFIS at (800) 233-1957, ext 7680 or
