(D-FL 21 st District)<br />
his month we finish the school<br />
T year and I would like to take this<br />
opportunity to thank the teachers,<br />
advisors, school staff, students,<br />
and school board for a successful<br />
academic year. <strong>June</strong> also marks<br />
the start of summer and Florida’s<br />
hurricane season. As always,<br />
preparedness is essential for the safety and the well-being of you and<br />
your family. Whether you are building an emergency kit or mapping an<br />
evacuation route, my office has assembled the below resources that are<br />
useful as you craft your own hurricane preparedness plan.<br />
www.floridadisaster.org<br />
The Florida Division of Emergency Management offers a comprehensive<br />
guide to hurricane preparedness, including how to strengthen your<br />
home, create a family plan, and even protect your important financial<br />
records.<br />

The Department of Homeland Security offers useful checklists that will<br />
help you create a communications plan and assemble an emergency<br />
kit before a hurricane.<br />
