1st day of Hurricane Season 2009
Today is the first day of the 2009 hurricane season. For those of us that work in the hurricane protection industry, that means we're about to be very busy. For the rest of the world it means it's past time to be prepared. If you don't have an emergency plan, get one together now. If you don't have an emergency kit put together, get one now. Although there are conflicting reports on how active this season will be, all it takes is one storm to make landfall near us, and that suddenly makes it a very active season. Be prepared! Finally, if you have not protected your home from a hurricane, now is as good a time as any. Storm Smart has many ways to help you keep driving wind, rain, and debris from compromising your home this hurricane season.
So take a look around this website for a while. We're sure that there is a product here to fit your needs and budget.

Storm Smart Industries Recieves Federal Grant To Become "Storm Smarter"
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA: Storm Smart Industries, the largest hurricane protection company in the State of Florida, has received a substantial federal stimulus grant through the Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board. The purpose of the grant is to introduce the concept of ‘Lean Manufacturing’ and to further promote corporate growth, local job development and competitive manufacturing in a global economy.
Company President Brian Rist states “We are excited to introduce this new way of thinking and working to our staff and we believe it will lend itself towards dramatic increases in productivity, improved quality, and job creation, particularly in our new ‘green’ division, Go Energy Smart.”
At 8:00 AM Tuesday, May 12, most of the manufacturing staff members at Storm Smart will stop producing hurricane protection products and will begin assembling clocks, as part one of a day-long conceptual introduction to ‘Lean Manufacturing’. Curt Bradbury, Business Development Manager for Southwest Florida Workforce Development Board says “We are pleased to be able to make funds available to companies like Storm Smart to assist them to pursue new markets and retain their current business. When the economy in this area turns around - and it will - the companies who have invested in worker training will be much better positioned to take advantage of new opportunities than those who have remained stagnant.”
For further details, please contact Trent Dunn at (239)938-1000 or email at Tdunn@StormSmart.com .

2009 Hurricane Season Preparedness
The following is a portion of a story that was written by Dr. Steve Lyons of Weather Channel which appears on www.weather.com
Many of you are familiar with the Atlantic seasonal forecasts of named storms and hurricanes. At The Weather Channel we do NOT make seasonal forecast, instead we have tried to provide the message that it only takes one to hit your area so be well-prepared every hurricane season regardless of these forecasts. But each late winter/spring leading up to the June 1st start of hurricane season it happens, first whispers of the season outlook that turn into talking about them and finally preoccupation with them. Often there is a slant toward how terrible hurricane season is going to be; more rarely how mild it will be. Just remember it will be a very bad and memorable hurricane season, even if there is a total of only one Atlantic hurricane, if that one strikes your area! Below I attempt to give a perspective on the early forecasts for 2009 and how one might interpret them. Keep in mind that there is some sound (although highly volatile) science involved in making some of these forecasts, in others I am uncertain how the numbers are arrived at. In any event, this is not an attempt to demean these forecasts or the people or companies that make them. Instead it is written for you and how you might react/respond to them.
