Christopher Strong, from the National Weather Service, gives a presentation to approximately 70 representatives from federal, state and local agencies, as well as private industry, during the Maritime Hurricane Contingency Plan Workshop at Coast Guard Sector Baltimore, Md., Friday, May 8, 2009. Port partners in the Port of Baltimore come together every year prior to the start of hurricane season to review their preparedness plan in the event of a hurricane in the Upper Chesapeake Bay. "It's not only important that one operate, exercise and train for a response, but to plan as well," said Captain Brian D. Kelley, the Captain of the Port of Baltimore. "With the great relationship that we have with our port partners, we are able to plan accordingly so that we are fully prepared for the 2009 hurricane season."
