4 PAGE 4 SEA PINES NEWS VOLUME V, ISSUE VIII PASCO SHERIFF S OFFICE NEWSLETTER August 2013 Did you know that Florida is one of the top states for tornado activity?zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Our location to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean helps to create this weather phenomenon when the warm, moist air from these waters meets the hot, dry land over our state. Our state is also in the path of the several hurricanes and tropical storms which form in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico every year, which can also spawn tornadoes. That is why all Pasco families should have an emergency plan. Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance. This includes how you will get to a safe place; how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different situations. Every emergency plan should include an emergency kit. This kit should contains food for at least three days, water, required medicines, a first aid kit, and additional survival items should you have to live without electrical power or should you have to leave your home. An important tool that can save your life and the life of your loved ones is a NOAA Weather Radio. According to FloridaDisaster.org, nearly 75 percent of tornado fatalities in Florida since 1950 have occurred between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., when people are least likely to be tuned into other sources of weather information. A NOAA Weather Radio is the lone government-operated radio system that provides National Weather Service severe weather warnings 24 hours a day. If you live in the path of the severe storm, and your family has a NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio, the radio will automatically sound an alarm and then broadcast the warning message, regardless of the time of day. The newer weather radios even allow you to program the alarm to sound for specific counties and hazards. If you are hard of hearing or a heavy sleeper, there is even a kit available for the radio that includes a pillow shaker and strobe light which can wake you in the middle of the night. Part of law enforcement and emergency services mission during extreme weather and disasters is to convince citizens on the importance of evacuations. No one wants to leave the comfort of their home and many people may want to try and stay put to protect their home and belongings. However, emergency management personnel do not issue evacuation orders unless their experience and training lead them to believe that citizens lives are in danger. If you receive an order to evacuate, DO SO! Remember the tragic case of citizens who tried to ride out the storm when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in They later tried to call for emergency assistance but law enforcement and emergency personnel were unable to respond, and many people lost their lives. You can find more information about emergency plans and emergency kits at the Federal Emergency Management Agency at and at the Florida Division of Emergency Management at FloridaDisaster.orgZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Do it today, as severe weather and other disasters can strike at any time. Sea Pines Security Patrol Help Needed If you can spare about 1 ½ hours one afternoon or evening a month, and are willing to help patrol your community by driving the Sea Pines Security truck, please contact Lynn Olson at either or lynnolson29@aol.com You will need to provide Lynn with your driver s license number and date of birth for Sea Pines insurance purposes. Lynn will arrange to get you a key to the truck which is parked on a lot between Mako and Yachtsman Streets. We sure could use the help!
