Hurricane Preparedness Blog

Take that, Hurricane Season 2008:  A valuable resource joins forces with the Hurricane Preparedness Blog…We are pleased to introduce the newest contributing member of HurricanePreparedness.org:  Mr. Mark Sudduth, founder/editor of the web site, hurricanetrack.com, and member/founder of the Hurricane Intercept Reseach Team (HIRT).   Mark will be posting along with Chris and myself, as we provide the public with everything hurricane-related.   Mark has a long and close relationship with hurricanes, as you will be able to see from his full autobiography.   But before you delve into that, let Mark briefly take the stage, and tell you just what HIRT and hurricanetrack.com, another great hurricane information and preparedness site, are capable of:

Our field team is now capable of sending live video, up to the minute weather data, photos and constant updates to hurricanetrack.com during even the strongest of hurricanes. This technology helps to keep us safe as well since we developed a remote observation system where by we can send back live video and weather data without us having to be in harm’s way. It is the best possible solution to the problem of gathering data and video without putting lives at risk…I would like to invite you to visit my site- hurricanetrack.com. My staff and I keep it updated every day throughout the season. We post field reports when we are on missions and even have a great subscription service for those who want to go beyond our free services.”          

Mark offers valuable advice and a forecast of his postings:

So now that we are deep within the 2008 hurricane season and we have witnessed four named storms, it appears that we may be in for a rough August and September. No one knows for sure but the signs seem to be there for quite an active peak to the season. I am proud to be working with hurricanepreparedness.org to offer my 12 years of experience, a lot of it from the front lines, to you. I have talked to thousands of people face to face since 1996 and have a pretty good idea of what preparedness is all about. But like everything else in life, no one knows it all. I am just one resource to tap for information or advice. My best advice is simple. Be educated. Know the enemy and then learn how you can lessen the effects of that enemy.  I look forward to posting my thoughts, stories and advice here as often as possible.”
