That's the appropriate title for the Houston/Galveston Hurricane Workshop that will be held this Saturday at the George R. Brown Convention Center from 9 am to 4 pm. According to the Red Cross, only 10-15 percent of people living in a hurricane threat zone have a hurricane plan. That's probably because many people don't know how easy it is to make a plan. That's just one of the things you'll learn at this year's workshop. Experts will be on hand to show you the kind of supplies you'll need and to give you other practical tips.

I hope to see you there at the CenterPoint Energy booth. I'll pass out KHOU tracking charts from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. Then from 1 pm to 2 pm and again from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, I'll be part of a panel discussion called "Ask The TV Meteorologist". It will be a chance to ask questions of all of the TV meteorologists from local channels. We're all on the same team when it comes to warning viewers what to expect and we want to make sure you understand the information we give on TV.

There are plenty of other informative presentations and lots for kids to do. For more details, check out http://www.hurricaneworkshop.com.
