Governor Rick Scott Kicks-Off The 2015 Hurricane Season By Urging Floridians To Be Prepared
HIALEAH, Fla.—Today, Governor Rick Scott visited the Jose F. Caragol Jr. Emergency Operations Center where he was joined by state and local emergency management officials to mark the beginning of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season. The season, which extends from June 1 through November 30, represents the period when hurricanes are most likely to form in the Atlantic Ocean. Last year, Governor Scott's budget included $750,000 for the new emergency operations center, which will help the surrounding area be better prepared for disasters.
As many parents already know, the beginning of the school year is a busy time for children who are getting ready to play organized sports. Playing sports is a great way for a child to stay fit and healthy, make friends, learn about teamwork, and develop a sense of personal satisfaction.
