June 3, 2014

Governor Rick Scott joined state and local officials Monday to mark the beginning of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season at the Escambia County Emergency Operation Center (EOC). The season, which extends from June 1, through November 30, represents the period when hurricanes are most likely to form in the Atlantic Ocean.

During Scott’s visit, he urged Escambia County residents to prepare ahead for the hurricane season. He also encouraged residents to take advantage of the hurricane sales tax holiday that continues until June 8.

Escambia County Emergency Management officials support Governor Scott’s efforts by asking residents to stay prepared by knowing their local evacuation routes, evacuation zones and having a plan in place.

Gov Rick Scott was joined by local officials Monday morning to remind Escambia County residents to get ready for this hurricane season during an awareness event.  Representatives of the Escambia County Public Safety Department also discussed a variety of topics including the latest information about evacuation zones and the importance of having a hurricane plan in place before a storm approaches.  Photos for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.
