Charles R. McClure, Francis Eppes Professor and Director of the Information Institute, spoke at the Texas Library Association April 17, 2010 in San Antonio. The presentation offered a tutorial on how to best use the website at

http://hurricanes.ii.fsu.edu/

The presentation also discussed the applicability of the website's content for hurricane preparedness and response in the state of Texas and other gulf coast states. There was considerable interest in expanding the coverage of the website to have content specific to other gulf coast states. A number of the participants had been in recent hurricanes that have struck Texas and the gulf coast and offered suggestions and ideas for additional content and sources for the website.
