Bush/Jennings Budget
HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY BUSH/JENNINGS BUDGET
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006-2007 TO THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE
Florida has experienced unprecedented back-to-back hurricane seasons. In 2005, Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma hit Florida. In 2004, Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne slammed into our state. Hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida. Florida will continue experiencing hurricanes like we have been for the past couple of years. For the long-term vitality of our state, hurricane preparedness, response and recovery needs to be as high a priority as any other public policy area.
