text: Are you Ready for Hurricane Season? | Modern Image
  According to the National Hurricane Center (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/), the Hurricane season in the Atlantic begins June 1st and ends November 30th. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season begins May 15th and also ends November 30th. As of this moment, there are no storms bearing down on us, so this is the PERFECT time to make your plans to survive a potential disaster this year. The Scan Man highly recommends that businesses and families visit FEMA's website, Ready.gov. This site has a wealth of resources for any type of disaster planning, including hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Below is a section about protecting your Vital Records (http://www.ready.gov/insurance-vital-records).
  Disasters not only affect community infrastructure and public works, but they often overcome family finances, making recovery difficult and sometimes impossible. Start by completing an Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (PDF – 977 Kb) created in partnership with Operation HOPE.
