Preparedness
Hurricane
season just began June 1st and the predictions are
for a busier-than-usual hurricane season.
Also, as the BP Oil spill continues in the Gulf,
it is evident that both man-made and natural
disasters are a part of everyday life. This

The Hazards of
Lead Paint
The hazards
associated with lead paint have been in and out of
the news over the past several years. We

you need to consider relative to both your
personal and business exposures.
- About half of homes built before
1978 have lead-based paint.
- Lead-based paint may be found
on any surface in the home - inside or
outside.
- Lead gets into the body when it is
swallowed or breathed.
- Once
in the body, lead can have significant effects
on human health.
