The annual Houston/Galveston National Weather Service Hurricane Workshop continues to grow in attendance and notoriety. The event, the largest of its kind in the nation, had more than 1,500 attendees in 2008 and increased participation is expected this year, which could result in more than 2,500 attendees. The success of the event is due to its partnership with private and public entities from its inception. The free Hurricane Preparedness event has grown and has garnered national attention and recognition for its effort to prepare residents before hurricane season through presentations, interactive exhibits, hurricane season forecasting and more.
Following Hurricane Ike, the 2009 Hurricane Workshop garnered the largest event attendance since its inception, with approximately 3,000 attendees. Over the years, the award-winning event has grown in notoriety and continues to educate residents of the Houston/Galveston area about hurricane preparedness.
