It Only Takes One Storm…
An average hurricane season has 12 named storms in the Atlantic, six of which strengthen into hurricanes and three of those becoming major hurricanes. Last year’s hurricane season featured above normal activity, producing 21 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes of Category 3 strength or more. A record of 8 named storms made landfall in the U.S. last year.
By knowing what actions to take before the hurricane season begins, when a hurricane approaches, and when the storm is in your area, as well as what to do after a hurricane leaves your area, you can increase your chance of survival. The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before hurricane season begins on June 1. It is vital to understand your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding, and wind. Here is your checklist of things to do BEFORE hurricane seasons begins.
