Wrapup of Today's Office Depot Hazard Fair

#1 Postby MWatkins » Fri May 20, 2005 10:51 pm

It was my distinct pleasure to team up with Mark Sudduth today during the 2005 Office Depot Hazard fair. Jevo and Aquawind also joined us there...and although we only picked up a few interviews we were able to obtain some good contacts with several agencies...including the Red Cross.

Mark's presentation was outstanding as always...if you haven't seen the DVD you are missing out...the surge from Ivan...and the white-out from the winds of Charley...are the big highlights.

Anyway...thanks to Aquawind (especially for the outstanding audio recordings once again)...Jevo..and of course Mark for coming down here today...as well as to Office Depot for promoting storm preparedness. More companies should follow this example...I am sure over 1000 employees were engaged with the preparedness message today.

On a side note...I have been extreemly busy during the week but things should wind down after tomorrow...and I'll be back and posting again like old times.

Disclaimer: 50% of the time I have no clue of what I am talking about. Chances are I am taking a less than educated guess that sounds good because 10 years ago I stole Mike Watkins book 'The Hurricane and its Impact'. For official information please direct yourself to the NHC and their cadre of weather geniuses.
