Hurricane season's first suspicious storm is on the doorstep of New Orleans
May 22, 2009
The Atlantic hurricane season,
expected to be a nearly-normal one, is about to begin, and there's already a
suspicious area of low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico, just outside New Orleans. As hurricane season returns, coastal and near-coastal communities around the country will need to assess their plans for
flood controls and
disaster relief equipment like portable pumps that will be needed to deliver critical public services like water and sewer service even when normal power supplies are lost.
Flood-cleanup pumps are often a popular item in our
online store this time of year, as well.
