He’s expected to unveil the details of the campaign -- which include hurricane resource guides and a new Web site -- today at 10 a.m. at the State House. Carcieri is also slotted to speak later this afternoon at the Northeast Mitigation Forum, an invitation-only conference with panel discussions and experts assessing the threat of a major hurricane in the region -- and our ability do handle one. Also scheduled to speak is Bill Read, director of the National Hurricane Center. The all-day forum comes 70 years after the deadliest hurricane in Rhode Island history, which killed hundreds of people in 1938. Read about the hurricane, and see Journal archive photos of the damage the storm caused.

Boy is the Governor the expert! That is like the Governors of New York and Nevada speaking on marriage fidelity! One of the few people who had a grasp of the State of Rhode Island's readiness for a major blizzard or hurricane or hazmat, got fired for not bailing out his military man while the Gov. was away learning how to turn RI into a 3rd world country. He's done a great job at that. After a bunch of body blows, Bob Warren landed on his feet with a good job. Chief Smith is a good replacement having lived in Westerly and Narragansett, but are his hands tied by this Governor? Time will tell.
