AUGUST 31st:
Hurricane Earl, currently a major hurricane, is expected to track up the East Coast of the United States, and may potentially make landfall later this week.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is urging all residents in East Coast states to take steps now to prepare their families and businesses to respond to the storm.
FEMA personnel are monitoring the storm and reaching out to Governors and local officials up and down the East Coast to ensure they are prepared should they be affected by severe weather in the coming days.
Since this weekend, FEMA has been in constant contact with the White House and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide regular updates on the storm's developments. Yesterday (August 30) Administrator Fugate briefed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano about FEMA's ongoing preparations for and response to severe weather in the Atlantic Ocean, including Hurricane Earl.
