The American space organization explained that a change in wind speed or direction with altitude plays an essential role in the formation of hurricanes. Although officially the hurricane season begins on June 1, it is already an issue to consider.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis called for action as hurricane season approachesafter which he emphasized that “it only takes one storm to affect an entire community.”
He encouraged all residents to know their risks, make an evacuation plan and recommended that they have all the essential supplies necessary to keep the entire family safe, all before June 1, as published by DIARIO LAS AMÉRICAS.
Experts recommend having with you a emergency kit that includes, apart from your personal documents, some key products to survive a hurricane season. Always remember that electricity generally fails, so having manual options is essential. Reviewing the product options and prices before the hurricane winds activate can avoid major headaches.

Hurricane season: when is it and how long does it last?
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, but weather alarms are activated long before so people can prepare. Generally, the first emergencies begin with the rains.
Preparation for this season is vital to ensure the safety of families. According to Fox Weather, an average Atlantic hurricane season produces fourteen storms, of which seven become hurricanes and three reach major hurricane status with winds of at least 185 kilometers per hour.
Basic tips for hurricane season
Hurricane season produces a lot of anxiety but with good preparation you can minimize that anxiety. During this period you should always pay close attention to local radio news and the Emergency Alert System for warnings of any storms and have a hurricane preparedness plan and disaster supply kit ready to go.
Your hurricane response and planning makes a difference. The recommendation generally refers to having early warning devices on hand and being logistically prepared in case of a possible power outage or the closure of supermarkets for emergency reasons. Having enough water and long-lasting food are essential, as well as the classic devices already indicated. You must also:
- Consider flood insurance for your home and vehicle. Especially if you live in hurricane zones, this alternative is essential
- Share your contact information with family and friends. Preferably do it in print.
- Take an inventory of your home
- Coordinate the inspection of the roof of your home. Having it in good condition can pass the test of hurricane-force winds. Ultimately the idea is to minimize risks.
