PHILIPSBURG:--- As Hurricane Season continues, I wish a safe passage to all residents of Florida, especially our students and citizens from St. Maarten residing in the area. Coming from an island that faces hurricane threats each year and having personally lived through devastating storms like Hurricane Luis and Hurricane Irma, I understand the danger that a Category 4 hurricane brings.

I urge our students and citizens to take every precaution necessary. Whether it’s leaving the state, staying with nearby family or friends, or moving to a safer shelter, ensure you are prepared. Stock up on essential items such as dry food, water, and flashlights, as these can be difficult to find after the storm passes.

Most importantly, look out for each other, especially those who are vulnerable. On behalf of the National Alliance, I pray for the safety of all during this challenging time. Stay safe, stay prepared, and stay connected.
