National Hurricane Preparedness Week

National Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 4 - May 10, 2025!

 

Hurricanes are dangerous and can cause major damage from storm surge, wind damage, rip currents and flooding. They can happen along any U.S. coast or in any territory in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Storm surge historically is the leading cause of hurricane-related deaths in the United States.

 

Start preparing now for the Atlantic Hurricane Season, which starts on June 1 and ends on November 30!
