Hurricane Preparedness

Florida is just a few weeks into the 2020 hurricane season, and we’ve already experienced two full-scale tornadoes. Those tornado conditions led to extensive damage in Orange and Lake counties, and are going to be part of a much larger coming hurricane season.

2019 saw 18 named storms, with six hurricanes, three of which were considered “major”. Hurricane Dorian, alone, cost an estimated $1.7 billion. Irma caused $50 billion worth of damages. These are recent hurricanes and their impact is still being felt to this day. And the NOAA is predicting a heavier-than-usual hurricane season in 2020.

Hurricane Readiness Tips

Ahead of any major hurricane season, it’s important to come prepared. Consider the following tips, and make sure to stay safe during the upcoming hurricane season:

  • Know the risks: More damage is caused by storm surge water pushing in from offshore than by the actual winds in a hurricane. Inland flooding causes massive damage to homes as well as roadways. The more you know about the dangers of a hurricane, the quicker you’ll be able to react, in the moment, when needed.
  • Plan your evacuation: While things might not degrade to the point where you need to evacuate, it’s important to act like you’re about to run. Make sure you have a full plan to evacuate, safely, in the event of a last-minute emergency.
  • Get quality information: Make sure to maintain access to radios, phone apps, television, and social media in order to get all the information you need. Try not to get taken in by fear-mongering websites or trolls peddling panic information. Always compare updates between multiple sources.
  • Update your insurance: Hurricane season typically starts at least a month before any of the actual storm events, themselves. This gives you some run-up during which you can update your insurance if you are concerned about damage to your home or property.
