From Mary McCarty's Office:The official start of hurricane season was June 1st and I would like to remind everyone the importance of being prepared! County officials and staff have worked diligently on a comprehensive Web site and manual providing essential information on hurricane preparedness such as shelter locations, generator safety, pet shelter locations, etc. Please take some time to review the information provided which will help to insure the safety for you, your family and friends.
