June 1st marks the opening day of hurricane season. For the next six months, emergency management officials will watch the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico for developing tropical storms.

Citizens who have not already done so, should put together a family emergency plan and an emergency kit. Those who have an emergency plan, should take some time to make sure that the information, such as family contact information, is still correct.
