On top of that, there was standing-room-only in our expert-panel discussion sessions; 10 emergency vehicles on display; and we even collected more than 240 pounds of expired or unused prescription drugs during Operation Medicine Cabinet. MOSI was again a most gracious host. Those that took advantage of their discounted admission were able to tour their Disasterville exhibit and come away with a better understanding of the power and destruction any natural disaster can bring. Our emergency managers and national and local weather officials made it clear that our theme - Run From the Water; Hide From the Wind – meant that if you are asked to evacuate, you don’t have to travel far. Just get out of the storm surge area and hunker down in a relative, friend, coworker or church member’s home who doesn’t have to evacuate. While our local emergency managers are ready to respond to any disaster we face, they still look to you to help. With many months to go in this year’s hurricane season, it is not too late to put together your hurricane plan and hurricane kit, and stock up on enough non-perishable food and medications to last you for at least 72 hours after the storm hits. By being prepared, our community will bounce back quicker after a storm. So, think sunshine, and we look forward to seeing you next May at the 2010 Tampa Bay Hurricane Expo.
