Resources for Hurricane Preparedness
Living in Florida offers many benefits and advantages, but we need to be vigilant of inclement weather brought on by hurricanes. Ready or not, hurricane season starts tomorrow, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting an 85% chance of above-normal Atlantic hurricane activity this season. Hurricane season officially begins on June 1st and lasts until November 1st.
After assessing damages done from hurricanes in the past few years, the Florida Division of Emergency Management encourages Floridians to have at least 7 days of supplies. These supplies include food, water, medicine, batteries, etc. Each family and business is advised to be adequately stocked and prepared to face this hurricane season.
