Atlantic Hurricane Season: June 1 to November 30

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) makes predictions for hurricane season each year. However, disasters are not limited to hurricanes or a specific time of year. They can occur anytime, anywhere. Emergency personnel may not be immediately available if they are also impacted. What will you do until help arrives?

Three simple steps can help you get ready:

  • Make a plan. Everyone should have an emergency plan and be prepared to take care of themselves for at least the first 72 hours after a disaster.
  • Build a kit. Being prepared means having your own food, water, and other emergency supplies to last for several days.
  • Stay informed. It’s important to plan for multiple ways you will receive information before, during, and after an emergency.

Remember, no two disasters are the same. Being prepared is the most effective way to protect yourself and your family, homes, and businesses from all types of emergencies (including natural and man-made disasters). Learn how to prepare for hurricanes and other local hazards and threats.
