The Hurricane season is in its second week and the Office of Disaster Management (ODM) is focused on prevention and mitigation of hazards that could be caused during the season.<\/p>\n

The ODM is currently hosting a series of public forums across the country and focusing on first aid and other basic community disaster management practices.<\/p>\n
