Hello again. It's been a long time since I updated the blog. Sorry about that. I had surgery in June and have been recuperating over the summer. I didn't make any of the District Board meetings during my recovery, but will be returning tomorrow and will give you an update on what the Board did in my absence.
Wanted to take this opportunity to give you some information about National Preparedness Month (NPM).
NPM falls on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, inspiring this year’s theme of “A Time to Remember, A Time to Prepare.” For Harris County residents, the past decade brings to mind Tropical Storm Allison and Hurricanes Rita and Ike, the most devastating hurricanes to hit the Texas coast since 1900. But, NPM also recalls the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when Harris County sheltered 230,000 people driven from their homes in New Orleans.
NPM is sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which works with thousands of government, corporate and non-profit organizations to promote public emergency preparedness.
