Many of us are trying to follow the latest on the numerous hurricanes that are in the news right now. The National Hurricane Center provides such information as projected storm paths, advisories, and preparedness. FEMA also has a hurricane center with educational information on hurricanes, recovery documents, and even more information on preparedness. They also provide a list of web sites and contact information on each state's emergency management offices. These can provide a wealth of more localized information. A great site to see the path of the hurricane is StormPulse. Great graphics and lots of information.

Political events in Ukraine in recent weeks spark concern that the Crimea may be the next flash point in that area of the world.Dr. Bemko will address this topic as well as answer questions after his presentation.
