Right on cue, we are entering the peak of Atlantic hurricane season with a flurry of storms. With the record high water temperatures around the state of Florida and in the Caribbean, we have seen that storms can pop up what seems to be out of nowhere. Building from nothing to a named storm to a hurricane in only a few days.
It is not too late to review your hurricane preparedness list to ensure you have everything you and your family need to be safe this time of year. If you are new to South Florida or want to refresh your readiness, Palm Beach County and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) have you covered. The
Palm Beach County Hurricane Planning Guide and
UF/IFAS Disaster Preparation & Recovery website can help you, your family, and your community have a plan in place to stay safe before and after a storm.
