The Office of Congressman Andy Harris has announced it will host a Weather-Emergency Preparedness Event at Stephen Decatur Middle School in Berlin, Md., on Monday, July 14. The event will be held from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), the Lower Shore counties, the Red Cross, and Delmarva Power will be on hand to provide information and to answer questions about preparation for and recovery after a severe weather-related event, including floods and coastal storm surges from tropical storms and hurricanes.
“The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with the peak occurring between mid-August and late October,” Congressman Harris says. “Most of Maryland’s First District is on the coast, and I want its residents to be fully prepared for the damage that can come from heavy rains and wind, or, God forbid, a hurricane.”
If you have any questions or would like to RSVP for the event, please contact Rep. Harris’ Salisbury District Office at 443-944-8624.
