2012 Hurricane Season

Clark Environmental Admin - Wednesday, May 23, 2012

2012 Hurricane Season

With Hurricane Season starting in 11 days, there is already a tropical storm in the Atlantic.  Tropical Storm Alberto hovered off the South Carolina and Georgia coasts on Sunday, producing showers and serving as a reminder that the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season is just around the corner.

 

The first storm of the season was not expected to approach landfall on the Carolinas' coast, but it prompted a brief tropical storm watch and forecasters warned that it could produce high winds, heavy surf, rip currents and scattered rain across the region.  The hurricane season officially begins June 1 and ends November 30th.


 

Hurricane Tips

NOAA will issue its 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Outlook on Thursday, May 24th.  In 2011 there was a 70% chance of an above average hurricane season forecast .  Please keep their website handy for current hurricane information.    http://www.nhc.noaa.gov             

Florida with Hurricane

 In preparing for the Hurricane Season, make the following plans for action: 

Know the hurricane risks in your area.  Learn the storm surge history and elevation of your area.

Learn safe routes inland.

Learn the location of official shelters.

Prepare a plan for your family and loved ones in advance of hazardous weather.

Ensure that enough non-perishable food and water supplies are on hand.

Have at least a one week supply of medications on hand.

Obtain and store materials, such as plywood, necessary to properly secure your home.

Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.

Keep trees and shrubbery trimmed of dead wood.

Review your insurance policy.

Determine where to move your boat in an emergency.

Make plans now on what to do with your pets should you be required to evacuate your residence. Public health regulations do not allow pets in public shelters, nor do most hotels/motels.

Individuals with special needs or others requiring more information should contact their County Emergency Management Office.

    Clark Gives Back to the Community

    Clark Environmental Admin - Friday, November 18, 2011

    One of the great joys of owning a business is being able to give back to the community in which we work. There are three wonderfully worthy organizations in Mulberry to which CLARK recently made donations. These organizations help out kids, teenagers, families in need, and senior citizens in the Mulberry area. Donations were given to Mike Borders, Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Mulberry; Ron Carpenter and Mark Rippy for the Christmas Toy Run; and Carol Davis, Director of the Mulberry Community Service Center. During this past year, CLARK also made donations to the Mulberry Phosphate Museum, the Mulberry Library, and the Mulberry Chamber of Commerce.
