Hurricane season officially starts on Saturday, and the National Guard's Vice Director of Domestic Operations, Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Burkett, wants you to know that while individual preparation for natural disasters is "absolutely essential," the Guard — along with its federal and state partners — have been working to stay ahead of whatever may come.
Several states and military installations across the country have taken a big hit from natural disasters in recent months — many bases are still recovering from the last hurricane season — but Burkett told reporters on Thursday that the Guard's work on current recovery won't impact their ability to respond to potential future disasters.
