Hurricanes
Hurricanes bring devastating winds, flooding, and power outages that can last for weeks. Preparation is critical for coastal and inland communities alike during hurricane season.
Hurricanes are among the most destructive natural disasters, combining high winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall. Whether you're in a coastal evacuation zone or inland, having the right emergency supplies can mean the difference between safety and crisis.
Key preparedness priorities:
• Emergency power and lighting
• Water storage and purification
• Non-perishable food supplies
• First aid and medical supplies
• Communication devices
• Shelter and evacuation gear
Why This Matters
Hurricane season runs June through November, with peak activity in August and September. Even if you're not in a coastal zone, inland flooding and extended power outages affect millions annually.
