municipal collection systems to prevent the water from overflowing
into lakes and rivers, and to later move the storm water through the
wastewater treatment plant.

To help protect people from the effects of
these potentially deadly storms , ITT Industries (NYSE: ITT) continues
to engineer critical technologies for sensing and managing storms this
hurricane season - from meteorological imagers and sounders that allow
the National Weather Service to predict and monitor the course of a
hurricane, to major utility pumps capable of removing millions of
gallons of water per minute from storm-flooded areas. "Early Warning
Weather System," allowing for improved weather forecasting.
"Throughout history we've witnessed innovations that affect our
safety and save lives.

Flood Control

Once a hurricane strikes, inland flooding can be the dangerous
aftermath if the afflicted community is in a potential flood zone and
the proper flood control systems are not in place. Each of the mobile water treatment
systems deployed was capable of delivering 1,800 gallons of fresh
water a day. Of these, they predict
seven to nine will escalate to hurricanes; three to five will be major
hurricanes.
