Yesterday, the CSB published a press release that urges “the chemical industry to act now to prepare for potentially more frequent and more powerful hurricanes and other extreme wind events in the months ahead.” This is the second effort this year that the CSB has made related to hurricane safety, the first was a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to urge inclusion of hurricanes and flooding in weather related protection order.
Commentary
This is more than a little late in the hurricane season
(started on June 1st) for this press release, but better late than
never is a long-standing government measure of success. I understand that they
were responding to a change
in the storm frequency projection from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, but even a relatively mild season could still see one or more
major hurricanes landing in the United States.
