Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your participation here as citizens, and those who are here as part of the panel and presenters. Our purpose today is to review, eight months after, the lessons that we have learned from Hurricane Andrew and continue to learn from those lessons. The hearing today is going to be divided into four segments: the first will be a presentation and discussion on the issues that preceded the arrival of Hurricane Andrew the preparation for the event; the second section will be on the events immediately following Hurricane Andrew; the third on the recovery effort, which, of course, is still ongoing; and then, finally, for one hour and fifteen minutes, we will hear citizen comments on any of those or other topics. I would ask those who would like to comment during that period if you would please give your name to Ms. Hardin. Ms. Hardin, would you please raise your hand? [Hand raised.] Senator Graham. She will arrange the order so that everyone who wishes to be heard will have an opportunity to do so. It has been eight months this month since Hurricane Andrew struck South Dade. The center of Andrew passed over this town in which we are meeting this morning. Here at Homestead, no one needs to go study statistics associated with Hurricane Andrew in order to understand the storm. Its power, destruction, and financial impact and its effect on people whose lives were devastated by its passing are well known.
