2013 Hurricane Season Forecast Webinar

2013 Hurricane Season Forecast Webinar May 28, 2013, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

"A global climate expert from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will share the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season forecast during a free webinar Tuesday, May 28 hosted by SBA and Agility Recovery. After the weather discussion, disaster preparedness tips will be presented by Agility. Dr. Gerry Bell has been the lead scientist of NOAA's Long-Range Hurricane Outlook Team since 1998. He was instrumental in developing NOAA's Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane activity outlook, and has done weather analysis on CNN and The Weather Channel. The Atlantic Hurricane Season begins June 1. Last year's season ended memorably when Hurricane Sandy pounded the Eastern Seaboard in late October. The storm caused billions of dollars in damages, and so far the SBA has approved about $370 million in disaster loans to more than 3,500 businesses affected by Sandy. Now is a good time to protect your employees, customers and business from the devastating physical and economic toll of disasters by making a plan to be safe and stay in business. During the webinar, Agility Recovery President Bob Boyd will share practical business continuity tips. SBA has partnered with Agility to offer disaster preparedness strategies through its 'PrepareMyBusiness' website. Visit www.preparemybusiness.org to access past webinars."
