Preparing for hurricanes and tropical storms
Protect your home or business before the storm hits.
Did you know on average, there are 12 tropical storms each year? Six will become hurricanes that form over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico from June 1 - November 30. In the Pacific Ocean, there's an average of three tropical storms each year, two becoming hurricanes between May 15 - November 30 every year.
Each of these storms bring about the usual hurricane hazards, including:
• Storm surges
• Flooding
• Winds
• Tornadoes
• Dangerous waves
Make sure that you're not only prepping your home, but also your business
