Republican Broward County Commissioner Jim Scott’s latest campaign ad, in which he issues hurricane safety advice, provides incorrect safety tips that could cause injury or death, Democrat Ken Keechl says.

In the paid political ad, which is running in heavy rotation on the Comcast cable system throughout Broward County, Scott advises, "Don't go outside indoors until the eye of the hurricane has passed.”

But according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Federal government’s weather agency, it is at this point that you are most likely to experience a hurricane’s most dangerous winds. The National Weather Service writes on its website: “Be alert for the calm ‘eye’ of the storm. After the eye passes, the winds will change direction and quickly return to hurricane force.”

“Now that hurricane season is in full swing, it’s imperative that we all know and follow correct safety procedures,” Keechl said. “But in the rush to win political points, Jim Scott is jeopardizing our safety by rushing people outdoors. Maybe Jim is too distracted to focus on the details of his Broward County responsibilities since he also holds a second fulltime job.”
