Understanding Florida's Hurricane Season: Preparation and Evacuation

Florida’s hurricane season runs from June through November, bringing risks of heavy rain, flooding, and strong winds.

Preparation and a clear evacuation plan are critical for safety.

  • Emergency Kit: Stock up on water, non-perishable food, flashlights, extra batteries, medications, and important documents in waterproof bags.
  • Home Safety: Secure windows with storm shutters or plywood, bring outdoor items inside, and check generators if available.
  • Evacuation Routes: Know your local evacuation zones and routes; practice leaving early to avoid last-minute rush.
  • Communication: Keep a battery-powered radio, charge devices, and have a family contact plan if cell networks fail.
  • Pets: Arrange shelters or pet-friendly accommodations ahead of time; never leave pets behind during evacuation.
  • Transportation: Maintain a full gas tank before the storm and keep your vehicle stocked with essentials.

Tip: Prepare well in advanceβ€”don’t wait until a hurricane watch or warning is issued to gather supplies or finalize plans.

⚠️ Safety: Follow official advisories from the National Hurricane Center and local authorities, and evacuate immediately when ordered.
