As your State Attorney, and a citizen of this great community, I know only too well the impact a major hurricane can have on all of us. Past experience has taught us that we need to prepare not only for the storm itself but also its aftermath. I sincerely hope that the contents of this program will provide you with the guidance needed to ensure you will not become a victim "AFTER THE STORM".
