Preparing for Bad Weather

June 1 is the official start of the annual Hurricane season. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew which devastated south Florida in 1992.

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center says that there is a 70 percent chance of 9 to 15 named storms of which 4 to 8 will strengthen to a named hurricane, and 1 to 3 of those will become major hurricanes. Remember, it is not how many Hurricanes you get, it’s how many get you! It only takes one.

As you know, Tropical Storms Alberto and Beryl have already made their presence known and we experienced a Tornado Warning as a result of Beryl’s landfall. All of this before the season even began.

Now is the time to prepare!

  1. Prepare a Disaster Supply Kit
  2. Prepare an Emergency Plan – For Work and Home.
  3. Stay Informed.
