HERE'S SOME LINKS FOR HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS THAT I THOUGHT IF SOME OF YOU WERE IN HARMS WAY NOW OR EVEN LATER THEY WOULD BE HELPFUL. THESE ARE ON THE FEMA.GOV WEB-SITE.. IF YOU FILL OUT THE EMERGENCY PLAN WORKSHEET THIS WILL BE GOOD INFORMATION IF PRESIDENT BUSH DECLARES A DISASTER IN THAT FEMA MAY NEED SOME OF THIS INFORMATION IF YOU ARE AFFECTED BY THE DISASTER.
