Please

protecting these endangered species as they return to Perdido key to lay
their nests.

Emergency
Management Update
Continuing PKA’s 2009 study of Evacuation Re-Entry policies for Perdido
Key, we invited Mr. John Dosh, the Emergency Manager, Escambia County
Office of Emergency Management to speak at our October 14 board meeting.
At the meeting Mr. Dosh cautioned us not to let our guard down, that
Hurricane season was not over yet. We all laughed. Then Hurricane Ida
swept quickly into the Gulf of Mexico not 3 weeks later. What a
surprise, and an important lesson.
