Thank You!

On behalf of Polk County Public Safety, I would like to thank you for your participation in the 2010 Hurricane Expo. It was a huge success, in part, due to the seamless cooperation between each agency.

We estimate there were approximately 4,000 people in attendance. That’s 4,000 residents who were concerned enough about hurricane readiness to attend our event and learn how to best protect their family and home before, during and after a storm.

We have already scheduled the event for June 4, 2011, and we look forward to partnering with you again. Registration and vendor details will be available on our website (www.polk-county.net/hurricaneexpo) in mid March , so be sure to mark your calendars.

Again, thank you for your interest in the residents of Polk County and we hope to see you next year. If there is anything I can do to assist you in your preparations, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Join us on June 5, 2010 @ 9AM - 3PM for a day of disaster preparedness seminars, power tool safety demonstrations, children's activities, exhibits, concessions and much more!
