The Utah Jazz are a professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association (the NBA). The Utah Jazz play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference with four other teams: the Denver Nuggets, the Seattle SuperSonics, the Portland Trailblazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jazz tickets will surely be hard to come by during the 2014-2015 NBA schedule.
New head coach Quin Snyder has shown some innovative touches during the preseason, and the Jazz are getting better looks. Though they’re still shooting about 19 threes per game, they rank sixth among all preseason squads in long-distance accuracy with a cool 37.1 percent.
The second wave of the youth movement begins this season. There’ll be no title talk, and even the playoffs are a pipe dream. But there’s no shortage of potential.
The Utah Jazz play their home games at EnergySolutions Arena. EnergySolutions Arena opened in 1991 and was originally called the Delta Center. In 2006 EnergySolutions purchased the naming rights to the arena and it has been called the EnergySolutions Arena ever since. Utah businessman Larry Miller coordinated the construction of the arena in 1990 and he still owns and operates the EnergySolutions Arena today. In addition to hosting Utah Jazz NBA home games, EnergySolutions Arena also hosts all of the home professional football games for the Utah Blaze of the Arena Football League. EnergySolutions Arena has a seating capacity of 19,911 devoted die-hard Utah Jazz fans. EnergySolutions Arena has hosted numerous memorable events and concerts during its short existence including the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, the Men’s Western Athletic Conference college basketball tournaments from 1993 through 1995, the 1999 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, The Rolling Stones Bigger Bang Tour concert in 2005 and U2’s Vertigo Tour concert in 2005. During the 2002 Winter Olympics, the EnergySolutions Arena hosted the figure skating and short track speed skating competitions. The EnergySolutions Arena is slated to host the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds of the Men’s NCAA College Basketball Tournament in 2010.
The Utah Jazz franchise was originally founded in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana in 1974.
Even with future hall of famer “Pistol” Pete Maravich leading the charge, the Utah Jazz never recorded a winning season in its first 5 seasons in New Orleans. Following the 1978-1979 NBA season, owner Sam Battistone moved the team from New Orleans to Utah. Initially, the franchise’s losing ways continued as the Utah Jazz did not record a winning for its first 4 seasons in Utah. During the 1983-1984 season, the Utah Jazz finally finished with a record above .500 (45-37) and the team won a playoff series for the first time in franchise history. After the 3-2 series win over the Denver Nuggets in the 1st round of the playoffs, the Utah Jazz lost to the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Semifinals. That first playoff appearance set off a 20-year streak in which the Utah Jazz advanced to post-season play. The 20-year streak is the second longest consecutive playoff streak in NBA history (second only to the Portland Trailblazer’s 21-year streak from 1982 through 2003). During this stretch run, Hall of Fame players Karl Malone and John Stockton formed one of the most dynamic duos in NBA history. The Utah Jazz reached the Western Conference Finals 3 times before finally advancing to its first ever NBA Championship Series in 1997. The timing could not have been worse, as Michael Jordan had recently “un-retired” and was leading the Chicago Bulls to the franchise’s 2nd 3-peat in the 1990’s. Despite winning a franchise record 64 games during the 1996-1997 season, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the 1997 NBA Finals. The following season the Utah Jazz won 62 games during the regular season, but once again the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the 1998 NBA Finals. Malone and Stockton each retired from the NBA shortly thereafter, and the rebuilding process began in earnest in the early 2000’s. After missing the playoffs from 2003 through 2006, the Utah Jazz made a successful run to the Western Conference Finals following the 2006-2007 NBA season. With a young talented nucleus, the future looks bright for the Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz have retired the following players’ numbers: Frank Layden’s #1; Adrian Dantley’s #4; Pete Maravich’s #7; John Stockton’s #12; Jeff Hornacek’s #14; Karl Malone’s #32; Darrell Griffith’s #35 and Mark Eaton’s #53.

If you ever get tired of Kuala Lumpur’s malls then head over to one of the city’s street markets: outdoor bazaars that are the superpowers in the city’s shopping scene, the best of which is Petaling Street. It rules the roost with a jambalaya of stalls selling knockoff handbags, wallets, purses, shoes, belts, watches and more as well as booths with DIY home decorations, traditional handicrafts and kitsch knick knacks.
Those looking to grab art pieces by local artists can head to Central Market while Chow Kit Market and Kasturi Walk are filled with mini stalls selling everything from sunglasses and second hand books to pre-loved clothes and figurines.
SS2 Monday Night Market is the largest pasar malam (night market) in Petaling Jaya, and has served the local community for over a decade. Open only on Mondays, it’s a great place to sample authentic Malaysian cuisine at very affordable prices, though the majority of vendors here offers Chinese street food.

It's that time of year when some of us become inspired by new challenges.
A quick run around the world, for instance.
That's the challenge Portland native Jared Blank has embraced. The 35-year-old has entered the fourth edition of the World Marathon Challenge, where runners attempt to complete seven marathons in seven days — on seven continents.
A lifelong runner, Blank's interest in the challenge was piqued when he saw highlights of the inaugural event, held in 2015. That interest grew stronger the more he learned about the event.
"I found myself more and more inclined to follow it each year. The motivation to want to attempt it just didn't go away," he says.
The fourth World Marathon Challenge begins with a marathon on Jan. 30 at Novo, Antarctica. It ends seven days later with a marathon in Miami. In between will be marathons in South Africa, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Portugal and Colombia.
Last year, 33 runners completed the challenge.
Blank went all-in this summer, quitting his job as the operations manager for the USC football program and returning to Portland to train full time.
He will run representing Team Quest, an endurance training and fundraising program of the International Dyslexia Association. Diagnosed with dyslexia at age 5, Blank overcame his learning challenges to earn a master's degree in communication management from USC and his MBA from Seattle Pacific.
"My hope is that through my story, students learn that they are not alone, that there are people out there who have dyslexia and it is not a limiting factor," Blank says.
In addition to dyslexia, Blank was diagnosed at a young age with sensory processing disorder, which made tasks that involved basic motor skills a challenge.
"As long as someone tied my shoes and opened the car door for me and got me to the soccer field, I could play," he says.
Occupational therapy helped with that, and he says his coordination improved with age and practice.
Dyslexia forced Blank to spend long hours with his studies. As a young student, he taught himself that if he could study for three hours, stretching the session to four or five hours was doable. The study habits that helped him succeed in academics "really correlated in my experience with endurance sports," Blank says.
Blank has completed eight marathons. He thought the 2016 Boston Marathon would be his crowning achievement, but found himself seeking new challenges.
He is excited about trying to "run around the world."
In July, Blank completed a 52.4-mile ultra-marathon that involved running the San Francisco Marathon course backward during the night before joining the regular marathon field in the morning. That same week, he ran the Jack & Jill Downhill Marathon near Seattle to see how his body would respond.
"I came out healthy for the most part. I struggled the last six miles of the Jack & Jill Downhill. I think it was just the end of a hard week," Blank says. "All in all, it was a great experience."
It takes more than incredible desire and drive to take on the World Marathon Challenge. It costs $42,000 to enter. That covers all meals, lodging and charter flights for the globetrotting footrace. The price does not include travel to the start of the race or home from Miami.
Blank enlisted ultra-marathoner and running coach Yassine Diboun to guide his training.
"When he approached me about this, that even got my eyebrows to raise," Diboun says. "l'm in a circle of people who do crazy, extreme stuff like this, but this was new. I've heard of it, but I never anticipated coaching somebody for it. I was immediately excited and up for the experience and the challenge."
Diboun put Blank on a program similar to the way he trains clients for ultra-marathons.
To prepare Blank's body for the pounding, "I have him doing lots of different types of terrain — up hills, down hills, trails and roads. I have him going at different intensity levels, and I have him doing some back-to-back long runs," Diboun says.
The key is training the mind to keep going when the legs don't want to continue. Diboun says science shows humans can endure much more than their brain might tell them.
"There's always going to be that little voice in your head that says: 'This is irrational,'" Diboun says. "What good endurance athletes have been able to do is to constantly override what they call the Central Governor in your brain.
"The Central Governor is always conservative. It's always going to tell you to stop way before you really need to."
In addition to being motivated to demonstrate to others with dyslexia that they can dream big, Blank has a training edge on most ultra-marathoners.
"A lot of times when I train people for these extreme events, it's very difficult to find balance if you have a full-time job or a family," Diboun says. "The fact that he is a single guy who lives right up the street from me and doesn't have a lot of distractions in his life right now made it easier."
Blank has plenty of planning experience. He spent 12 years on the logistics side of college football, serving as the football operations specialist at both USC and Washington.
"It should be called the Director of Not Football Operations," he says with a laugh. "It's all logistics. Planning meals, travel and working with different departments that touch the athletes."
He quit the USC post in June and has spent the past seven months planning for a once-in-a-lifetime challenge. Blank missed the relationships with the athletes and with colleagues in the athletic department but was too immersed in his preparations to miss being around college football.
The miles on Forest Park trails and Portland streets have been fun for his "creative spirit." And he enjoys running in any weather. "Having that Oregon blood keeps me grounded with the weather conditions," he says.
Equally important — and perhaps more challenging — than getting in the miles of training work is "just staying on top of everything, with foam rolling and yoga and those things that really enhance running."
Perhaps the biggest unknown for Blank is how his body will react between races. He hopes he'll be tired enough to sleep during the flights. He and Diboun have discussed strategies for recovering during those flights.
"We're going to run through a little cycle of dynamic stretches that we can do so you don't stiffen up on the planes," Diboun says. The use of compression sleeves and socks and implements designed to help flush toxins from muscles will be part of the strategy.
Diboun recently completed a big challenge of his own. On Jan. 13 in Hawaii, Diboun ran the Hurt 100 ultra-marathon for the third time.
Diboun says Blank is prepared for the World Marathon Challenge.
"He's done great. He's very committed. He's very disciplined. He's very driven, and he's very passionate about the dyslexia association," Diboun says.
Six months of planning and training behind him, Blank says his excitement is growing.
"There's still a lot of work to be done leading up to it," he says. But I'm excited for the opportunity and feel fortunate to have it."

the miles on forest park trails and portland streets have been fun for his "creative spirit." and he enjoys running in any weather. "having that oregon blood keeps me grounded with the weather conditions," he says.
equally important — and perhaps more challenging — than getting in the miles of training work is "just staying on top of everything, with foam rolling and yoga and those things that really enhance running."
perhaps the biggest unknown for blank is how his body will react between races. he hopes he'll be tired enough to sleep during the flights. he and diboun have discussed strategies for recovering during those flights.
"we're going to run through a little cycle of dynamic stretches that we can do so you don't stiffen up on the planes," diboun says. the use of compression sleeves and socks and implements designed to help flush toxins from muscles will be part of the strategy.
diboun recently completed a big challenge of his own. on jan. 13 in hawaii, diboun ran the hurt 100 ultra-marathon for the third time.
diboun says blank is prepared for the world marathon challenge.
"he's done great. he's very committed. he's very disciplined. he's very driven, and he's very passionate about the dyslexia association," diboun says.
six months of planning and training behind him, blank says his excitement is growing.
"there's still a lot of work to be done leading up to it," he says. but i'm excited for the opportunity and feel fortunate to have it."

Telstra today announced it had acquired VMtech, a leading Sydney-based professional and managed services provider with expertise in the delivery and management of enterprise-grade hybrid cloud, connectivity and security solutions.
Christopher Smith, Telstra’s Executive Director of Business Technology Services (BTS), said the acquisition was aligned with Telstra’s strategy to accelerate the growth of its Network Applications and Services business in Australia and internationally.
“As organisations digitise their business they are increasingly moving from a basic cloud-first model to best-fit solutions that often involve a secure hybrid cloud approach. As a result, customers are looking to us to provide hybrid solutions for their network, security and cloud infrastructure, as well as support with defining, architecting, implementing and managing these solutions,” said Mr Smith.
Mr Smith said VMtech’s end-to-end approach to designing and managing secure hybrid cloud solutions complements the existing suite of technology consulting services Telstra offers across public cloud, networks, security and applications.
“There is no one-size-fits-all solution for organisations looking to digitise their business so a consulting-led approach is critical to delivering tailored solutions that best fit their needs. We have one of Australia’s largest teams of ICT services professionals who manage projects from single domain integrations to complex transformation projects across multiple technologies, industries and geographies.
“We have built this successful business in Australia by scaling the capabilities acquired through acquisitions like Kloud, Readify and MSC Mobility, along with significant organic growth. We’re committed to expanding this capability internationally and our acquisition of UK-based technology services business Company85 in June was part of this strategy,” said Mr Smith.
“The expertise from VMtech complements our vision to be a world class technology company and we look forward to working in partnership with the VMtech team to deliver our combined expertise to more customers in Australia, with a view to scaling these capabilities in Asia,” said Mr Smith.
Established in 2009 with headquarters in Sydney, VMtech today has around 75 employees and provides services to Australian business and government customers such as Coca-Cola, Komatsu, ME Bank, Mission Australia and Sydney’s Inner West Council. The company is widely recognised in the industry and has featured in the 2017 Financial Review Fast 100 list, Deloitte Technology Fast 50 (2016) and BRW Fast 100 (2016).
VMtech Co-Founder and CEO Len Findlay said the strength of Telstra’s network and security capabilities combined with VMtech’s secure hybrid cloud approach and strong service commitment, would create exciting growth opportunities.
“We have partnered with Telstra since 2013 to deliver our innovative solutions to customers in New South Wales and Victoria. Our values and commitment to delivering best-fit customer solutions are strongly aligned. We’re excited to be joining Telstra and helping to take our secure hybrid cloud capabilities, combined with Telstra’s leading network and security services, to a broader market – both domestic and international. Our team is very much looking forward to the tremendous opportunity ahead,” said Mr Findlay.

Two roads diverged … and I chose the one that ended!
Last week, I was driving to Nashville, Tennessee, and I was abruptly forced to change my route. Right in front of me stood a flashing sign that read: “Lane ends merge right.” Now, I was pretty certain of my path. I knew exactly where I was going. I had no idea this roadblock was in front of me, but I was forced to make a decision. I could no longer continue on the path which I had set out before me, the one I had decided on, the one I was prepared to follow.
I began thinking about how this parallels with our Christian life. We think we have it all figured out. We have our little maps, we programmed our GPS, and we know exactly what we’re going to do. It never occurs to us that something or SOMEONE could change our course, but then it happens. A father’s illness, a nasty divorce, a bad decision, or a financial crisis alters the path where we were traveling.
What do you do when you no longer know what to do?
As I was driving down the road it occurred to me that all of this was out of my hands. While MY plan had been thwarted, there was still somebody who was in charge. The “merge right sign,” the entire plan which was out of my view, was on somebody else’s radar. It had to be. It was their job to keep that traffic moving and ultimately get me where I needed to go.
I had to trust the person telling me to “merge right”. It was scary because I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t like the feeling of relinquishing my control. The only option given was to trust the sign placer and follow the new course that had been put in front of me. I had to realize, sometimes you just have to trust that there is somebody who knows what’s going on and you will get where you need to go.
What do you do when the life path you were on suddenly changes? Do you try to forge a new path on your own, or do you trust that God will show you what to do?

Learning from Life: Take a meditation vacation!
I was reading an article the other day called THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE "OM "
It talks about taking a meditation vacation. When everyone is getting ready for summer, the perfect vacation time, this suggests that one of the vacations we should plan on taking is learning to relax, focus and meditate.
I have told you before about what I was like when I first learned the concept of meditation, I was a basket case, I truly thought I couldn't control my mind racing, and the thought of being in the moment was scary to me. What about all that had happened in my life, and what about all the things that could happen in the future? All I can say is that I am very grateful for my dear friend who taught me the importance of listening and knowing my body, plus she taught me how to meditate and control my thoughts. No easy task on her part.
Do I still do it? YES! When do I do it? When my body tells me that I am overloaded. When I am in doing my cancer check ups, especially when I am inside the MRI machine. The only way I can stay focused and ok in that tiny place is ... to go to my Happy place. I use it to sleep at night. I use it when I am multi-tasking to the point that I realize I am not enjoying the here and now. I watched my daughter and daughter in laws practice and use it during childbirth. I used it during my tests and surgeries, and I will have to use it tomorrow morning when I have my root canal.
"Pushed and pulled from every direction, millions of Americans identify stress as a major health concern.
Research clearly links chronic stress to a host of conditions; anxiety, insomnia, depression, anger, hypertension, infertility, diabetes, accelerated aging, heart disease and more.
Meditation, by contrast, acts as a mini-vacation, re balancing an inner world turned upside down. Once you gain proficiency in this 3,500-year-old practice, you can enter a calming state at will. In minutes, racing thoughts coast to a welcome rest, knotted muscles unclench and you start to feel relaxed- even serene.
If anything is about meditation is difficult, it's escorting newcomers past all those Age of Aquarius, pass-the-granola stereotypes says Sarah McLean an author and meditation instructor.
Because our multitasking, rapid-fire world rarely requires our brains to focus intently for long periods of time, she notes, practitioners of meditation achieve and maintain a restful state "by focusing on something heard, something seen or something felt."
Sound...Hearing sounds like a gentle surf, or a prarie filled with birdsong, can provide a restful ambience.
Touch...go for a walk, notice your breathing.
Remember meditation is a gentle practice, not a competitive sport. Stay in the present moment, where our lives are actually happening.
Good night dear friends, I am going to head to bed and meditate myself!

i have told you before about what i was like when i first learned the concept of meditation, i was a basket case, i truly thought i couldn't control my mind racing, and the thought of being in the moment was scary to me. what about all that had happened in my life, and what about all the things that could happen in the future? all i can say is that i am very grateful for my dear friend who taught me the importance of listening and knowing my body, plus she taught me how to meditate and control my thoughts. no easy task on her part.
do i still do it? yes! when do i do it? when my body tells me that i am overloaded. when i am in doing my cancer check ups, especially when i am inside the mri machine. the only way i can stay focused and ok in that tiny place is ... to go to my happy place. i use it to sleep at night. i use it when i am multi-tasking to the point that i realize i am not enjoying the here and now. i watched my daughter and daughter in laws practice and use it during childbirth. i used it during my tests and surgeries, and i will have to use it tomorrow morning when i have my root canal.
"pushed and pulled from every direction, millions of americans identify stress as a major health concern.
research clearly links chronic stress to a host of conditions; anxiety, insomnia, depression, anger, hypertension, infertility, diabetes, accelerated aging, heart disease and more.
meditation, by contrast, acts as a mini-vacation, re balancing an inner world turned upside down. once you gain proficiency in this 3,500-year-old practice, you can enter a calming state at will. in minutes, racing thoughts coast to a welcome rest, knotted muscles unclench and you start to feel relaxed- even serene.
if anything is about meditation is difficult, it's escorting newcomers past all those age of aquarius, pass-the-granola stereotypes says sarah mclean an author and meditation instructor.
because our multitasking, rapid-fire world rarely requires our brains to focus intently for long periods of time, she notes, practitioners of meditation achieve and maintain a restful state "by focusing on something heard, something seen or something felt."
sound...hearing sounds like a gentle surf, or a prarie filled with birdsong, can provide a restful ambience.
touch...go for a walk, notice your breathing.
remember meditation is a gentle practice, not a competitive sport. stay in the present moment, where our lives are actually happening.
good night dear friends, i am going to head to bed and meditate myself!
"the body needs material food every day. the soul needs spiritual food."

As part of the series of posts announced at this initial blog post (.NET Application Architecture Guidance) that explores each of the architecture areas currently covered by our team, this current blog post focuses on introducing the new "Modernize existing .NET applications with Windows Containers and Azure" eBook which you can download here.
When you decide to modernize your web applications and move them to the cloud, you don't necessarily have to fully re-architect your applications. Re-architecting an application by using an advanced approach like microservices isn't always an option, because of cost and time restraints. Depending on the type of application, re-architecting an app also might not be necessary.
? Which apps require a transformation or re-architecting.
? Which apps need to be only partially modernized.
? Which apps you can "lift and shift" almost directly to the cloud.
The last two cases are precisely the focus of this subject (LIFT and SHIFT scenarios). Lift and shift is the action of moving a workload to a newer or more modern environment without altering the application's code and basic architecture.
The main subject of this guidance is about "Cloud DevOps-Ready" apps, where the main focus is to use WINDOWS CONTAINERS, how to containerize your existing .NET Framework application (monolithic, N-Tier, etc.) and how to deploy your Windows Containers into Azure.
Remember that this 'LIFT & SHIFT' guidance, explained at this blog post, is part of a broader .NET Architecture guidance which covers additional subjects and you can check out at the .NET Application Architecture Center page where you can download the multiple eBooks/Guides and visit the reference applications from there.

I have Adobe Creative Cloud but rarely make the full use of it. I mean, I use the obvious stuff like PhotoShop, LightRoom and Premier and to a lesser extent Illustrator and InDesign, but that is about it. What a waste!
Anyway I thought that I would have a go a Portfolio. Essentially Portfolio takes a selected collection of images from LightRoom and turns it into a web site which can then be displayed to the world using Behance. It was so simple.
Create, with the option of having a Behance site.
So if you have Adobe Creative Account, give Portfolio a go. The Behance site is free, so you have nothing to lose.

Bund futures are complicated by their contract design which stipulates physical delivery by the Short for each futures contract of €100,000 face value from a choice of deliverable bonds. Conversion factors exist to compensate for a bond being delivered with a coupon other than the 6% also specified in the contract design. This process involves the Long paying the Bund EDSP x the conversion factor + Accrued Interest on the delivery date on the bond being delivered and gives rise to cheapest-to-deliver optionality, when the yield curve is anything but 6%.
The theoretical value of the Bund future should be the forward value on the delivery date of the cheapest to deliver in the basket of deliverable bonds, divided by the conversion factor.
Unfortunately, that’s not the end of the story, rather the start. If you were to price a bund future using the above formula you would find it was higher than the actual market price of the future. This is the net basis (when multiplied by the conversion factor) and reflects all that embedded optionality mentioned above. The optionality exists because the cheapest to deliver bond underlying the bond future can change plus there are additional sources of optionality; namely switch and wildcard optionality, which are specific to the actual delivery process.
All the above are known knowns and have been for over two decades. Consequently, that means that the embedded optionality in bund futures is pretty fairly quantified by the market, leaving things like bund rolls being driven by more mundane things like supply and demand and financing considerations. Bund rolls are the effect on the calendar spread of the rolling process of open positions in the front month into the back month to maintain directional bias.
The chart shows the effects of the Z3H4 roll. The blue and red shading is open interest for Z3 and H4 respectively (left axis) and the Z3 and H4 prices are prices on the right axis.
It can be seen that the open interest in Z3 coincides with a rally in Z3 bund prices and so it could be inferred the trend following traders, (systematic hedge funds like MAN, Winton and Bluetrend plus CTA’s) are long and might want to maintain the positions into H4. This means at some stage they will have to sell their Z3 holdings and buy H4 futures. This would cause a spread cheapening or narrowing. The window for trading the roll is quite narrow since it can be seen that the H4 doesn’t come to life in trading volume or OI until early November 2013, and doesn’t really pick up until end of November. This means that there is only about two weeks in which to actively trade the roll but the trader could have actively positioned expecting a roll of long interest by selling the Z3H4 spread.
The following chart shows that the Z3H4 spread could have been sold in early November for around zero and subsequently fell about 15 ticks by early December. Only in the last days did the spread widen dramatically.
Bund rolls are amazingly complex driven by a multiple of factors.
Relative value of each futures contract to the basket of underlying deliverable bonds.
Directional bias of open interest.
Often it is changes in repo rates that can cause volatility in the final days approaching the last trading day of 6th December. Bunds that are cheapest to deliver can often trade special, sometimes at negative repo rates which can make the futures contracts drop. That might have happened here to the H4 relative to the Z3.

Secure belongs. Owners of larger boats are urged to move their boats to inland marinas where they will be less vulnerable to breaking free of their moorings or damage. Trailerable boats should be pulled from the water and stored in a place that is not prone to flooding. Those who are leaving their boats in the water are reminded to secure life rings, lifejackets and small boats. These items, if not secured properly, can break free and require valuable search and rescue resources be diverted to ensure they are not actually people in distress.
Stay clear of beaches. Wave heights and currents typically increase before a storm makes landfall. Even the best swimmers can fall victim to the strong waves and rip currents caused by Tropical Storm Hanna. Swimmers should stay clear of beaches until local lifeguards and law enforcement officials say the water is safe.
Be prepared. Area residents should prepared by developing a family plan, creating a disaster supply kit, having a place to go, securing their home and having a plan for pets. Information can be found at the National Hurricane Center’s webpage.
