Are coastal Georgians ready for hurricane season?

Tomorrow is the first day of hurricane season and a new poll says coastal Georgians may not be prepared to survive a hurricane. The Mason-Dixon poll says 88% of people surveyed in 18 Atlantic and Gulf Coast states said they haven’t taken any steps to fortify their homes. Forecasters expect 10 hurricanes this year with three to five expected to be major. Public safety officials tell residents to stockpile at least a three-day supply of bottled water, nonperishable food and medicine.
