a major in a very high chance very active hurricane season with a message for everybody coming out of this as we head into the season the preparation has to be the same every year regardless of what the seasonal forecast as it only takes one storm affecting you and your community t busy hurricane season a few things that i i want to emphasize particular is it doesn't take a major hurricane making landfall in your state in your area locality for there to be major invest especially from the water hazards the rainfall flooding is been the deadliest hazard on tropical storms over the last ten years and unites is responsible for more than half of the fal the flooding is almost entirely unrelated to the strength off the storm is no matter what category does or whether to tropical depression or storm or hurricane and only matters how long rates arteries and locations forgiven amount of and again, the rainfall flooding for the biggest killer but hazards in general most concerned about the combination of rainfall floodin■ storm surge and rip currents and

responsible for about 8590 percent of fidelity's we see of the tropical stormsnd hurricanes across the united states nissan hurricane en the 2020 view itself was for this concert so the potential to go the largest number of people any given day of all of than 40 lives we had a from that particular recurrence are underappreciated hazard tropical storms and hurricanes actually killed more people thatt storm surge by the last ten years in the united was a long fees because facing beaches for carolina new jersey susceptible toda danger conditions there mit be hundreds of miles away so a- want bright practice chosen to safety with these people wanted to date time don't get a lot of att particular hazard but again you know you rest the first step in getting prepared and knowu if u live in a storm surge evacuation zone that forms a your entire hurricane preparedness plan is if you're going to be asked

potentially leave your home by a local or managementrls community to know where you about, how are you going to get their whaouthig and loveday remember me casey only up to evacuate tens of miles not hundreds together storm surge theuation zone shelter of home of federal of litter aggressive place to stay. again preparation is key going shelter in place, first storm when a heavy and e kit place this article of the items now a days worth of nonperishable food, water, medicine the batteries anything avoid any does right the aftermath maybe power outages for dado access to medical emergencyge services printed placing the postmortem safety which is another■1 increasing point of emphasis we got the most as many people after tropical storms and hurricanes in this c we lost drug force of the storm itself. this particular case here in florida where we lost over 200

people to these indirect fatalities that are occurring through accidents and power issues, cardiac arrest improper ugenerator use any exhaustion like a medical axiss we want to make sure people are safe after the storm pretty when we doing to help communicate those will this you willng out from hurricane center, a.i. translated spanish-lguage products across our entire tropical cycle of really sweep the atlantic and easternific to speak to the large number of our constituents of public in the u.s. and primary language is spanish those parts are hurricane .gov l be available throughout the season pretty young thing were doing is rolling out an experiment version of the grw the inland extent of the topical warnings in the united states will get better write information thaton would hazard mechanics and many miles away from the coast especially major hurricane landfall. rap up a couple

go extreme like you don't need to repair those emergency. >> why think it a basic level we dealt with the public to care for the seasonal forecast is because is not a preparedness i think sing it forecast like this, people should be concerned: measured is we've heard here this morning of the p time to information under preparation you do every year but i thank you so the enterprise, the media hurricane enterprise with emergency management all of the govern neful not a height and use dramatic wos exactly reason you said no want people to sort of see it to now to decide i'm not going prepare so the message has to be concerned the cal again to remind people of the preparedness nse yourself florie risk is here in the entire hurricane season time to get

ready. n >>bñ"fox news" and if you us toe tested in in the past few years of the parts of the country of learned that just the tropical depressions has really bad other parts of the country that if you had a■0 wand, where would that be. >> will i think would be everywhere and i think you could even in parts of florida make a look at south florida but we tht had a generation so again just because the storm is happening place so people moving in andut risk a time as well and so i think once again survey reminder that again talk about■ rainfall flooding deadliest hazard nothing to do rm is from the wind perspective so want

the hazardscus on watches and warnings national weather service issues for those especially theer has digit advancers it drives the evacuations and flooding flood watchesod and warnings the highlight the areas of the risk of flooding from rainfall and again that is in the message we just hit over and over again is not about the category of the track for the exact strength of the storm really has to get heavy space and we in 2020, we had watches and warnings every inch of the unitedfrom texas to maing puerto rico and the virgin islands we've had a lot impact many impactful swarms of the passengers especially in florida along the gulf coast carolinas infected and noon and ringlet us your primitive apps was about the entire country to go back over the just the last three or four seasons but again the constant reminder that constant refresher with the risk is in people lead busy life many of the things of thinking about hurricane season comin■5g■ on an
