Why did we start FLHN?

 

The 2004 hurricane season showed Floridians just how mean a season can be.

 

A single state suffering four hurricane strikes in just one season is almost unprecedented. So too is the scale of the effort involved in rebuilding. Long after reporting crews from the Weather Channel and the other media have left, the problems and heartaches remain: heaps of debris, broken houses, and shattered lives.

 

We started FLHN to help Floridians though this kind of difficult time. To help Floridians in every corner of the state prepare for, survive, and recover from hurricanes.

 

In particular, we noticed that information regarding the everyday necessities required to rebuild and recover after the storm was virtually non-existent. Questions like: Where can I buy a generator? Has anybody got tarps? Where can I find water and ice? Gas? Is there anyplace nearby that's got roofing materials? How do I contact FEMA? Can anyone help me care for my family member with special needs?

 

That's the main reason FLHN exists: to give Floridians a forum to share information with one another to make dealing with a hurricane as painless as possible.

 

We're proud to offer the only state-wide information sharing service designed to help Floridian's in times of disaster. In our online Hurricane Forums Floridians help other Floridians by sharing information, sources, experiences, and knowledge in real-time as a storm approaches, passes, and throughout the long recovery process.

 

We invite everyone to use them.
