June
Yard of the Month Winners Announced ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Connie & Stephen Coale of Rain Fern Ct. won the Yard
of the Month for June.
I
was so surprised and grateful to be chosen "Yard of
the Month"! I grew up with "Happy Gardeners". My Grandmother
and Mother. It is therapy for me to be out working
in my yard. I don't think of anything, except for
what I'm doing. And, it is great exercise too! I love
it. My favorite flower is the geranium. They bloom
all summer long and are so colorful. In this heat,
you need a flower to stand the test of constant 90
degree weather. I also love impatients because they
are so showy in the yard. This year I planted some
sun impatients and they are doing fantastic. I enjoy
spending time in the yard, even if it's early morning,
or late afternoon when it's not too terribly hot.
--Connie
Area Representatives finding this beautiful yard are
Pat Goodpastor & Virginia Dellinger

Prepare
for Hurricane Season Now ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
from FEMA: The Atlantic and Central Pacific Hurricane
Season runs from June 1-November 30. This year more
storms than normal are predicted. The ocean temperature,
a key ingredient in storm generation, is four degrees
higher than in the last few years--a sign that we need
to pay attention.
Everyone,
including those living outside of hurricane-risk areas,
should check personal preparations such as emergency
kit supplies, note messages from local emergency officials,
and rehearse emergency evacuation routes. Important
items to have ready in case of an emergency include
a battery-powered radio (like a NOAA Weather Radio),
flashlight, extra batteries, medicines, non-perishable
food, hand-operated can opener, utility knife and first
aid supplies. Copy and store your important documents
in a waterproof bag. These may include medical records,
contracts, property deeds, leases, banking records,
insurance records and birth certificates.
This
is the time to consider potential needs of everyone
in the household during an emergency. If your household
includes a person with a disability, special steps to
assist them may be necessary and should be considered
now. Pets also require special handling. They may become
agitated during the onset of a storm, so a pet carrier
is a must for safe travel. Pet owners should research
pet boarding facilities now within a certain radius
of where you may evacuate, since animals may not be
welcome in all shelters or hotels.
Take
steps now to purchase a flood insurance policy. Not
only are homes and businesses in hurricane-prone states
at risk for flood, but inland flooding is common in
nearby states. To assess flood risk for your home or
find a local agent selling national flood insurance,
visit www.floodsmart.gov or call toll-free at 1-888-379-9531.
FEMA
continues to support the coordinated federal response
to the BP oil spill, and this season's hurricane planning
has involved consideration of the effects that the BP
oil spill could have on the response capabilities and
recovery scenarios.

more preparedness information, please visit www.Ready.gov.
