It’s Never Too Soon for Hurricane Preparations

Preparing for hurricane season early has major benefits.

The spring season has just begun and for many that means flowers blooming and afternoon rain showers. South Floridians have grown accustom to the seamless shift from the “winter” months to the spring months. From days spent outside to nights enjoy the comfortable air, hurricane season is probably the last thing on your mind. However, it’s important to think about hurricane preparedness now as opposed to the month right before the storm season begins.

Many Floridians have become numb to the dangers associated with major storms. With years and years of experience in last minute shifts of the eye and warnings that fade to nothing, it’s easy to get jaded and ignore the need to prepare. Unfortunately, those who neglect to get ready their homes for hurricane now may end up regretting it in the long run. The truth is that preparing for hurricane season early has major benefits.

First and foremost, early hurricane preparation will put you and your family in the safe position of being prepared for anything. There is no telling when a major storm will hit and having the comfort of knowing that your preparations are complete will give you valuable peace of mind. In addition, stocking up on supplies now will save you money. Get together a list of essentials like flashlights, batteries, and nonperishable foods and plan to purchase them as they go on sale. Finally, generator prices tend to skyrocket around hurricane season and their stock may be low at time too. Be sure to look into buying a generator now to allow for plenty of time for research beforehand.
