Although some locations in Florida are hit by hurricanes more frequently than other areas, The Florida Climate Center reports that every part of the Florida coastline has been impacted by a hurricane at least once. This means that all Floridians need a plan and hurricane protection in place to keep their family members, their homes, and themselves safe each hurricane season.

When preparing for a hurricane, even if you choose to shelter in place, it’s important to be ready well ahead of time. No matter where in Florida you call home, here are the top four hurricane preparedness tips to keep in mind.

If you’re a native or long-time resident of the Southwest Florida coast, you probably know a thing or two about tropical systems. But if you’re new to the area, or are planning to move to the Naples, Cape Coral, or Fort Myers area soon, you’ll want to brush up on tropical storms and hurricanes—specifically, how to prepare your home or business for these dangerous storms.

Those in hurricane-prone areas are aware that having hurricane protection is crucial to feeling safe during hurricane season every year. But when the past hurricane season was mild, preparation for the next “big one” may be put on the back burner. In this post, we’re going to look at the definition of hurricane amnesia, why hurricane preparedness matters, and some advice for staying safe, even if another hurricane, like Hurricane Irma or Hurricane Charley, were to hit home.

When it comes to hurricane protection, it's never too early to start planning. In Florida, it's not uncommon to see people waiting until the summer months to install hurricane protection, however, the best thing you can do is to start thinking about it early - especially if you're a seasonal resident of Southwest Florida. 

If you're a condo association manager or a member of the board, finding hurricane protection products that don't alter the aesthetics of your building is difficult. In addition to keeping your curb appeal, you’ll still want to meet the requirements of the Florida laws on hurricane shutters. 

For many people, Southwest Florida is one of the most desirable places to live. Between the beaches, golf courses, and sunshine all year long, it's not surprising that Southwest Florida is an ideal location for people to call home. However, the threat of a hurricane is very real for full-time and part-time residents alike. From June through November, hurricane season brings the very real possibility of a hurricane or tropical storm hitting the area.

If you've lived in Southwest Florida during hurricane season, you know how important it is to protect your home during a storm.

For most of the year, Floridians can enjoy beautiful weather, sunshine, and beaches. While we still get to enjoy all of these things from June through November, we also find ourselves wary of hurricanes. As Floridians, we know how powerful and destructive hurricanes can be.
