NOAA PREDICTS VERY ACTIVE 2006 NORTH ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON

NOAA announced to America and its neighbors throughout the north Atlantic 
region that a very active hurricane season is looming, and encouraged 
individuals to make preparations to better protect their lives and 
livelihoods. May 21-27 is National Hurricane Preparedness Week. "For the 
2006 north Atlantic hurricane season, NOAA is predicting 13 to 16 named 
storms, with eight to 10 becoming hurricanes, of which four to six could 
become 'major' hurricanes of Category 3 strength or higher," added retired 
Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce 
for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
