The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted a busy hurricane season for 2020. As institutions begin planning for reopening procedures during the state’s four-phased approach, now is the time to factor in hurricane preparedness.

Join COSTEP MA, a statewide network of cultural heritage and emergency management professionals, for a virtual presentation and Q&A session with Matthew Belk, a Lead Meteorologist for the National Weather Service, Boston, on the 2020 upcoming hurricane season.

This webinar will:

cover hazards posed by tropical storms and hurricanes in southern New England;
enable your institution to evaluation hurricane-related threats to your facilities; and
prepare you to begin the process of constructing a mitigation plan.

This webinar is hosted by COSTEP MA (Coordinated Statewide Emergency Preparedness) in partnership with technology support from the Massachusetts Library System.
