Summer is on us, with it long, slow days relax and brings sunlight. But this season of warmth and entertainment is an ugly, dangerous aspect: hurricane. The latest prediction of the 2025 hurricane season, which runs from June to November, predicts a “over normal” season, which means that we should expect 13 to 19 storms in the Atlantic Basin, which is large enough to name the names. Six to 10 of them are expected to target the strength (up to 74 miles per hour), and three to five of them are predicted to hurricanes (category 3 or strong, with winds of 111 miles and more).
For comparisons, in 2024, whose prediction was also predicted to be more common than usual, the Basin of the Atlantic Ocean tested 18 names by 18 names. Of these, eleven hurricanes reached the strength, five categories were classified 3 or more. Of the five hurricanes who landed in Kannatal America, two – Helen and Milton – made Landland as a major hurricane.
Hurricane Safeer Simpson is measured on the Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranks the wind speed of a hurricane on a scale of 1 to 5. The higher the numbers, the sharp winds of strong winds. Although this measure does not take into account the risks of hurricanes such as hurricane rise and rain floods, it harms the strength of hurricane winds with the damage to the expected property. Therefore, the category 1 storm can damage the branches and roofs, leather and siding of the trees, while the category 3 storms will be expected to root out the trees, knock power and remove some parts of the roof.
Although nothing can eliminate the risks of strong winds and driving rain, ready to reduce the risk of damage to your home in the event of a hurricane. To get ready for the hurricane season, review the guide below and start taking action now.

1. Make a plan – now.
Don’t wait until a hurricane is tolerated on you. Plan your preparation before the season begins.
- A collection a The disaster preparation kit. You would like to add copies of working flashlight, batteries, chargers, a whistle, first aid, medicines, cash, extra clothing, and important information that you will need if you will have to empty (passport, emergency contact, and insurance information). Do not forget the supply of unused foods, including energy bars, shocks, bottle juice and powder milk. If you have pets, add several days worth of food and some cups. And if you have young children, pack some small, novel toys, books and other disturbances.
- Make home inventory. As a neighboring company, Rainbow rehabilitation director, Shannon Allen, suggested, “A detailed home inventory (photos, videos, and item description of the house) can simplify insurance claims.” If you are closing it, it’s time to work now. Keep a copy with your destruction preparation kit.
- If you have been evacuated, determine where you will go. During an emergency, your local government will attract you to hurricane routes and emergency shelters. But it is smart to keep in mind, especially if you live in a hurricane flood zone. If you are traveling with animals, note that shelters usually allow only service animals, so research for prematurely pet -friendly hotels, or if you have been emptied, plan to stay with friends or family (or lodge with pets).
- Establish an emergency communication plan. If you are not already signing up for the emergency alert system of your city or state, take care of this asap. (Find how to find out how to sign up for warnings in your area.) During an emergency, phone lines may be more burdened, so plan to communicate through the text. You can buy a battery -driven or hand crank radio and make it with Noaa weather radio.
- Keep the supply of food, water and other essential supplies on the hand. If you have not been emptied, or if the falling trees or floods prevent you from leaving, you will need to shelter the place. You can stuck for several days without electricity or without access to clean water. Before the storm, fill with clean water to drink plastic bottles, then fill the bathtub and sink with water to flush the toilet or wash. If you have a portable generator, make sure you have gasoline supply or proposed to fuel it. Fill above the car’s gas tank and fill any spare gas cans so that you get extra fuel.
2. I am ready for a hurricane.
Long before the hurricane approaching, take care of these tasks at the beginning of the season.
- Trim or remove any bad trees or organs. If possible, cut the organs of the tree that eliminate the roofs or abrasive on the sides of your house.
- Inspect the gutters and downs spots. Protect any loose ingredients and then make sure to remove the water from home.
- Check and replace any bad window glasses, roof leather, or siding. Consider installing hurricanes, especially if you live in a storm -affected region. Rainbow maintenance Allen, “Impact Windows, Roll Down or Accords Shutter, Garage door curves and roof clips”. If you don’t have a storm shutter, you can ride your windows with plywood. Offer parts to fit your windows, and store them easily in accessible space so they are ready to go.
3. Prepare as soon as the hurricane approaches.
- Bring loose items inside. Do not allow your courtyard furniture, garbage cans, toys, garden tools, and hanging plants to become a projectel in strong winds. Nothing can be brought inside or anchor cannot be brought in.
- Charge cell phone and manufacture electrical appliances. Dip the fridge and the freezer to the coldest settings, and avoid opening the door to prevent food from deteriorating. If you live in an area where there is a possibility of a flood, move furniture and valuables to the high floor of your home. Plug in small devices, computer and electronic devices to reduce the risk of damage caused by the power increase.
4. Be safe during the hurricane.
- On your television or radio, or check the latest weather updates and emergency instructions every 30 minutes, check local emergency alert information via online or by apps.
- Follow any order of the local municipality, whether you are asked to vacate or stay in your house.
- Keep in touch with family, friends and neighbors through text or social media.
- Stay away from the windows, even if they are closed, if the windows are broken then avoid flight glasses.
- If the winds become very strong, on the first floor of the house, in a small inner room, such as on the first floor of the house, away from the windows. Keep items from your preparation kit, including flashlight, batteries, water, food, whistle, and first aid.
- If you have to empty for any reason or you need to leave your home, look at the debris and the power lines. Avoid flood waters or driving, which can be received from electricity from underground or falling power lines.
- High water can hide dangerous debris, sharp items, or unexpected holes, and can contain sewerage or dangerous animals. Remember: Only 6 inches high water can knock you, and 2 feet can swim.
- If you get caught in a car with a rapidly growing water flood, get out quickly and go to the ground high.
- Do not walk on the shores of the beach or rivers, which can be compromised because of the erosion.
