June 1 marks the start of another Atlantic hurricane season. The time to prepare for hurricanes--or any natural disasters--is now. The Federal Government, led by FEMA, is gearing up to respond to hurricanes that may impact the United States and is working with State and local emergency management officials, first responders, and nonprofit partners to make sure all are prepared. The private sector also plays a vital role by preparing their businesses and often donating goods and services to response and relief efforts. Broadcasters and wireless providers work to ensure communication systems are up and running to provide vital information during an emergency. We all play a role in preparedness, and I urge Americans to pledge to prepare--put together an emergency kit, develop a family plan, encourage others to prepare. Taking those steps now will make a huge difference should disaster strike. ____________________
