If anyone uses Twitter, I recommend following @WCraigFugate ... former FEMA Administrator and former Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the one who saw Florida through the 2004-2005 hurricane season. (Yeah, those years combined were basically one long season.) He's back home in Gainesville (Alachua County), and he's been tweeting about his preparations for the storm. His sense of humor and personality come through loud and clear.
Craig has always had this wonderful way of cutting through the hype and confusion and getting down to what's really important. He simultaneously reminds you what's at stake, at the same time providing a well-timed nudge so you actually know what you should be doing to prepare. And it's little things, easy, achievable steps, so it isn't so daunting. When Craig explains something, it makes sense... and it makes so much sense that it feels intuitive, like he just articulated what you didn't realize you were already thinking.
