The 2010 Houston/Galveston Hurricane Workshop, the largest free public event of its kind, will take place on June 19 from 10 a.m. until 3 pm. at the George R. Brown Convention Center. The theme of the 2010 workshop will once again be Ready or Not . . . as we continue to stress that everyone must always be prepared for a major hurricane visiting our region of the Gulf Coast.
Focused on providing families with the information they need as hurricane season begins, the event has grown each year and will likely draw more then 3,000 attendees in 2010. During the workshop, an expert from the National Hurricane Center will give an update on recent improvements in hurricane forecasting and what the 2010 Hurricane Season has in store for Texas. Also, local Emergency Management experts will be on hand to explain the latest plans for hurricane preparedness along the upper Texas coast.
The popular kids’ area will once again feature interactive learning activities. The Energizer Bunny and Louie the Lightning Bug will also make appearances. Kids will learn about tropical cyclones and how to prepare for an approaching hurricane through a fun, educational experience that teaches them to respect, but not fear, these strong storms .
There will also be a number of vendors on hand displaying items related to
hurricane preparedness. Many items will also be given away on a first-come, first-served basis, such as hurricane tracking charts, tip sheets, a
comprehensive booklet on hurricanes from the National Weather Service, as well as other vendor-provided items.
The 2010 Hurricane Workshop is once again being sponsored by CenterPoint Energy, the City of Houston and the National Weather Service. Harris County Office of Emergency Management, Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston and the Weather Museum are also active participants in making this a successful educational event. The workshop is free and open to the public. Updates on the event program and registration information can be found prior to the event at www.hurricaneworkshop.com.
