National Hurricane Preparedness Week 2012
May 27th through June 2nd
The goal of NOAA's Hurricane Preparedness Web site is to inform the public about the hurricane hazards and provide knowledge which can be used to take ACTION. This information can be used to save lives at work, home, while on the road, or on the water.
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone or severe tropical storm that
forms in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and
in the eastern Pacific Ocean. A typical cyclone is accompanied by thunderstorms, and in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise circulation of winds near the earth’s surface.
Every year, hurricanes put communities at risk of catastrophic damage
from storm surges, flooding, high winds, and tornadoes. During National
Hurricane Preparedness Week, we rededicate ourselves to preventing loss
of life and damage to property by raising awareness about hurricane
hazards and taking action to protect our families, our homes, and our
neighborhoods.
As we mark the beginning of hurricane season, let us recommit to
ensuring the safety of our loved ones and our communities, and to
building a stronger, more resilient Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 27 through June
2, 2012, as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. I call upon
government agencies, private organizations, schools, media, and
residents in the coastal areas of our Nation to share information about
hurricane preparedness and response to help save lives and protect
communities.
