Ensuring that our hurricane preparedness plans are current is more than just an exercise for Federal Agencies in the Gulf Coast Region. These plans are mission essential tools that we are likely to use multiple times in any given hurricane season. This year the New Orleans Federal Executive Board (NO FEB) is pairing our annual Hurricane Preparedness briefing with the topics of Emergency Communications and Continuity of Operations. We hope you can join us to receive the most current information from the senior leaders of Federal agencies on topics such as: hurricane forecasts, weather tracking tools, flood protection, upcoming training opportunities, communication and technology, building security and programs to support emergency preparation and response.
