Florida Hurrican Expos

Get ready: The Florida Department of Financial Services (FLDFS) has scheduled a number of hurricane expos around the state, and many are open to the public.

Topics vary for each meeting but focus on hurricane mitigation techniques to boost a home's defenses against a storm, including information about the state's My Safe Florida Home program and defensive moves such as storm shutters and fortified garage doors.

Currently scheduled expos and topics are listed below, but for more information or to see future events, visit the FLDFS Web site at: http://www.fldfs.com/Consumers/consumerOutReach/eventsbycategory.asp.
