  • During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, three groups of fifth graders spent time teaching younger students about the importance of preparing for hurricanes and having a hurricane kit.
  • The Douglas L. Jamerson Elementary School students collected items for the countywide hurricane kit supply drive and explained the importance of having those items in a hurricane kit.
  • The hurricane kit items donated by Pinellas County School students will go to the St. Pete Free Clinic for residents in need.

When debris from a tractor struck their vehicle on I-75, Denise and Mike Brennan were told by a state contractor that "they will take care of it." Now, more than six months later, the Brennans are still $7000 out-of-pocket for repairs and rentals.
