2009 Hurricane Season

Confirmed: 2009 was a mild year for hurricanes. The National Hurricane Center recently released its 2009 Forecast Verification Report which confirmed what most Texas residents already knew. View the 71-page report on NOAA.gov.

2010 Hurricane Season

Despite a mild hurricane season in 2009, forecasters predict the 2010 hurricane season to be a different story. AccuWeather.com meteorologists predict an “extreme season” with seven landfalls predicted, five of which are expected to be hurricanes. Of the expected landfalls, two or three are expected to be major.

Have an Exit Strategy
Texas State Fire Marshall’s Office is working on a public awareness campaign, “Have an Exit Strategy,” to stress the importance of personal responsibility in disasters and planning escapes. This campaign was inspired after a devastating nightclub fire in Rhode Island killed 100 people in 2003. The State Fire Marshall’s Office randomly began inspecting Texas nightclubs, bars, and dancehalls in 2004, discovering that96 percent of the nearly 200 establishments inspected had violations involving exits.
