With the success of the first three episodes of Prepare to Survive, the program is now expanding to a 30-minute show. Join in at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 5, as host Tom Iovino interviews Bryan Koon, Florida’s emergency management director, to talk about statewide disaster preparedness efforts. In the second segment, Bob Lasher, public information officer for PSTA, will discuss the county’s transportation plans before, during and after a disaster.

A live blog feature will open at www.pinellascounty.org/eseries before the presentation. Those interested in submitting a question for consideration can log in and enter their question into the blog window. Questions that meet the terms of participation will be posted. Since the show is only 30 minutes long, not all questions may be answered on air. Unanswered questions will be answered and posted online after the event.

Saint Petersburg, Florida -- Over 1,500 Florida Spiny Lobsters were shipped to local seafood market I.C. Sharks fresh from the Keys just before lunchtime today -- and by tomorrow, not an ounce of the nearly one-ton loot is expected to remain.

The reason? The second annual Lobsterfest, which will bring four live bands, a twenty-four-foot water slide, a rock-climbing wall, and lots and lots of food to the waterfront destination for a Saturday event not to be missed. A minimum of 1,000 people are expected at the event, including plenty of familiar faces from 10 News.
