Yes, again we have been blessed - we didn't get the hurricane, but people we need to get off our seats of complacency and remember that there will be a time when we get one. We need to be prepared - it is much better to prepare and not need it then to be unready for such a catastrophe.

The people of New Orleans were not prepared for Katrina as they should be. Yes, the majority of the failure to prepare was the mayors' and the governors' but we as individuals have responsibilty too.

What if this area had a "Katrina"? What would you do, where would you go, and would you be prepared?

Just ask yourself these questions.
