Brace yourself: The 2006 hurricane season is almost under way. Sure, you can wait till Dr. Neil Frank tells you when to hide in the bathtub. But you can prepare yourself for evacuation hell this year by getting in the know at the 2006 Hurricane Workshop: Lessons Learned for the Next Time. The workshop will present several speakers on topics from insurance and evacuation routes to shelter-in-place procedures. Don’t worry about taking notes: Smaller Q-and-A sessions follow the main presentation. Get the scoop on storms from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tue., May 30, 4-9 p.m.
