                      HURRICANE SEASON PREPARATION

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, next week is June 1, and it marks the 
beginning of hurricane season. My constituents and Americans across the 
country in coastal regions are susceptible to these devastating storms. 
Disasters can strike at any time, often with little warning. It is 
important to have a plan in place.
  Make sure the plan includes a supply kit filled with potentially 
lifesaving items like flashlights, radios, and batteries. It is also 
crucial to follow local weather forecasts and heed any emergency 
warnings during hurricanes or other extreme weather.
  Hurricane season is starting. The best way to guarantee that you and 
your family are safe, you have to be prepared. My Web site, 
bilirakis.house.gov, as well as fema.gov, both have important resources 
available to you. This year, be sure you are ready and safe.
