Meteorologists are predicting a slower than usual hurricane season, but emergency managers say that doesn’t mean people should get complacent. Florida has escaped six seasons without a hurricane making landfall. Meteorologists are prediction 10 named storms this year, about half as many as years past, but Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll says its just takes one storm to create a disaster.

“I want to remind Floridians that 20 years ago the same predication was made and in August 1992, Florida was forever altered,” said Jennifer Carroll.

Carroll is calling on all Floridians to create a hurricane kit and prepare an evacuation plan. The state has a website with tips; Floridadisaster.org
