Alexandria, Va.-based International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) encouraged consumers to take action during National Hurricane Preparedness Week, which ran throughout the week last week, May 24-30, which coincides with the start of hurricane season, the association says.
“This week is an ideal time for people to take a moment to reassess their risks and update hurricane kits and emergency plans,” said Chris Hogan, IBWA vice president of communications, in a statement. “Continued volatility in weather across the nation only reinforces the importance of always being prepared for unexpected and dangerous weather.”
