“As we approach what experts predict may be an active hurricane season, it is extremely important that we all remain as ready as possible this year,” stated Senator Flanagan. “This meeting is designed to provide residents with the expert information necessary to be prepared in the event of an emergency. While we all hope that we never have to put this information to use, it is important that our community as a whole be as prepared as it can possibly be.”
This event has a limited capacity, so residents who plan on attending are urged to contact Senator Flanagan's office by calling 631-361-2154 or by sending Senator Flanagan an e-mail.
