NEW SPIN ON HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS: Oil-Spill Factor Poses Unique Challenge This Year (Guest in EDT)
Logically, with hurricane season officially beginning on June 1st, National Hurricane Preparedness Week is right now, the week of May 23rd. But, unlike years past, the Gulf Coast States are looking at possibly the worst disaster ever.
Not only do they face the threat of the BP oil slick that, under the influence of a hurricane’s storm surge, would likely shift from an ominous creep into catastrophic overdrive, but many meteorology experts are also predicting an active season this year, with something in the neighborhood of 15 named storms and eight hurricanes.
In light of this unique threat, however, your audience will be glad to hear there are also some unique solutions available to them as they, indeed, prepare themselves for the roughest time of the year.
Thomas Ryan Ward, Director of Education for EcoloBlue, is available for interviews to address one of the most underestimated challenges people face when devastated by a natural disaster—the interruption or disabling of the public water supply.
In the wake of similar threats around the country—due to drought in California, a water main break in Boston, massive flooding in Tennessee, nuclear waste in New Jersey—Ward can introduce the remarkable concept of preemptively solving the problem of public water vulnerability by individualizing water supplies down to the consumer’s home or business.
Call Special Guests to find out more. Book an interview with EcoloBlue’s Thomas Ryan Ward, and get ready to hear how a single household or office can produce, daily, eight gallons of its own clean drinking water literally out of thin air.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, THOMAS RYAN WARD:

It was during an excursion to Costa Rica, where he learned about that country’s rampant water concerns and began finding new ways to conserve and filter water to its optimal freshness, that he came upon EcoloBlue Life and Energy. In time, he became EcoloBlue’s Director of Education, informing those he meets and those with a similar passion for discovering optimal, pure, ecological, innovative and resourceful ways to “lead the water solution revolution.”
