What should I do to prepare for hurricane season?

Trim dead or overhanging tree branches near your home. Secure loose outdoor furniture, grills, and decorations. Check that your sump pump works and consider a battery backup. Review your insurance policy for flood coverage. Stock emergency supplies including water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and batteries. Know your evacuation route.

Why It Matters

Hurricane season runs from June through November in the Atlantic region. Early preparation gives you time to protect your home without the stress of a last-minute scramble.
