Here are the top tips from the Florida Division of Emerg ency Management (FDEM) for staying hurricane ready this season and beyond. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30 each y ear\, with historical activity typically peaking in September.

Develo p a disaster plan with everyone in your household\, including how you will communicate during an emergency and where you will meet if you become sep arated. Business owners should also have a business continuity plan and pr ocedures for communicating with employees before\, during and after a disa ster.

Consider the needs of everyone in your household\, inclu ding children\, older adults\, individuals with disabilities and pets.

Sto rm preparation and evacuation orders can lead to increased demand at gas s tations and charging locations. Maintaining at least half a tank or charge can help ensure you are ready to evacuate quickly if necessary.

In many cases\, moving tens of miles inland\, t o higher ground or outside an evacuation zone may be enough to get out of harm’s way. Always follow evacuation orders and guidance from local offi cials. Sign up for local emergency alerts through AlertFlorida\, and visit your county's local emergency management site at the link below for infor mation about shelters. \n \n \n FloridaDisaster.o rg/counties \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n If you or someone in your household requires 24-hour care or relies on electricity for medical needs\, register with Florida’s Sp ecial Needs Registry. Registering in advance helps local emergency managem ent officials better understand and plan for community needs before\, duri ng and after a disaster. Preparedness looks different for every business\, organization\, and household\, but every Floridian can take steps now to become more resilient. Whether it is signing up for local alerts\, packing essential supplies for your children\, checking your evacuation zone or i dentifying a safe place to go\, preparing before a storm is on the horizon is always better than waiting until it arrives. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TBRPC Resources \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project Phoenix \n It is a facilitated training exercise that examines critical issues and ca pabilities of the Tampa Bay area small businesses and emergency management agencies during disaster recovery.

Residents and busin esses are encouraged to finalize their disaster plans and take advantage o f preparedness resources this month.  Whether preparing on your own\, wit h your family or for your organization or business\, it is important to ta ke time now to solidify your disaster plan by following the road to hurric ane preparedness. Here are the top tips from the Florida Division of Emerg ency Management (FDEM) for staying hurricane ready this season and beyond. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30 each y ear\, with historical activity typically peaking in September. Over the la st 60 years\, the Atlantic Basin has recorded at least one named storm dur ing the month of September each year\, underscoring the importance of rema ining prepared even when the earlier months of hurricane season have been relatively quiet (www.floridadisaster.org). \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dis aster Preparedness Sales Tax Exemption \n \n \n \n As of July 1\, 2025\, many disaster preparedness supplies\, including batteri es\, fire extinguishers and portable generators\, are permanently exempt f rom Florida sales tax.

Develo p a disaster plan with everyone in your household\, including how you will communicate during an emergency and where you will meet if you become sep arated. Business owners should also have a business continuity plan and pr ocedures for communicating with employees before\, during and after a disa ster.

In many cases\, moving tens of miles inland\, t o higher ground or outside an evacuation zone may be enough to get out of harm’s way. Always follow evacuation orders and guidance from local offi cials. Sign up for local emergency alerts through AlertFlorida\, and visit your county's local emergency management site at the link below for infor mation about shelters. \n \n \n FloridaDisaster.o rg/counties \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n If you or someone in your household requires 24-hour care or relies on electricity for medical needs\, register with Florida’s Sp ecial Needs Registry.

Preparedness looks different for every business\, organization\, and household\, but every Floridian can take steps now to become more resilient. Whether it is signing up for local alerts\, packing essential supplies for your children\, checking your evacuation zone or i dentifying a safe place to go\, preparing before a storm is on the horizon is always better than waiting until it arrives. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TBRPC Resources \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project Phoenix \n It is a facilitated training exercise that examines critical issues and ca pabilities of the Tampa Bay area small businesses and emergency management agencies during disaster recovery.

Residents and busin esses are encouraged to finalize their disaster plans and take advantage o f preparedness resources this month.  Whether preparing on your own\, wit h your family or for your organization or business\, it is important to ta ke time now to solidify your disaster plan by following the road to hurric ane preparedness. Here are the top tips from the Florida Division of Emerg ency Management (FDEM) for staying hurricane ready this season and beyond. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30 each y ear\, with historical activity typically peaking in September. Over the la st 60 years\, the Atlantic Basin has recorded at least one named storm dur ing the month of September each year\, underscoring the importance of rema ining prepared even when the earlier months of hurricane season have been relatively quiet (www.floridadisaster.org). \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dis aster Preparedness Sales Tax Exemption \n \n \n \n As of July 1\, 2025\, many disaster preparedness supplies\, including batteri es\, fire extinguishers and portable generators\, are permanently exempt f rom Florida sales tax. Floridians can take advantage of this year-round ex emption when building or restocking their disaster supply kits. Visit Flo ridaDisaster.org/TaxFree for a comprehensive list of eligible items. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ways to Prepare \n \n \n \n Flo ridians should know and follow the 5 Steps of Hurricane Preparedness. Hove r over each box for more information: \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n Know Your Home\, Know Your Zone \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Know your evacuation zon e and understand your home’s ability to withstand potential storm condit ions. Based on these factors\, determine whether you may be able to shelte r in place or will need to evacuate if instructed by local officials. Iden tify where you would go ahead of time\, such as the home of family or frie nds or a local shelter. To identify your evacuation zone\, visit the websi te below: \n \n \n FloridaDisaster.org/Know \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Make a Pl an \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Don’t wait until a disaster threatens to make a plan. Develo p a disaster plan with everyone in your household\, including how you will communicate during an emergency and where you will meet if you become sep arated. Business owners should also have a business continuity plan and pr ocedures for communicating with employees before\, during and after a disa ster. To create a customized preparedness plan for your household or busin ess\, visit the website below: \n \n \n FloridaMa keAPlan.com \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Build a Kit \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Build a disaster supply kit with enough food\ , water\, medications and other essential supplies for your household for up to seven days. Consider the needs of everyone in your household\, inclu ding children\, older adults\, individuals with disabilities and pets. Vis it the website below for a comprehensive disaster supply checklist. \ n \n \n FloridaDisaster.org/Kit \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Halfway Full is Halfway Th ere \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keep your vehicle’s gas tank at least halfway full or your electric vehicle at least halfway charged throughout hurricane season. Sto rm preparation and evacuation orders can lead to increased demand at gas s tations and charging locations. Maintaining at least half a tank or charge can help ensure you are ready to evacuate quickly if necessary. Visit the website below to learn more. \n \n \n FloridaDis aster.org/HalfwayFull \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Evacuate Tens of Miles\, Not Hundreds (If Necessary) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n If you are ordered to evacuate\, you may not need to travel hundreds of miles to reach safety. In many cases\, moving tens of miles inland\, t o higher ground or outside an evacuation zone may be enough to get out of harm’s way. Always follow evacuation orders and guidance from local offi cials. Sign up for local emergency alerts through AlertFlorida\, and visit your county's local emergency management site at the link below for infor mation about shelters. \n \n \n FloridaDisaster.o rg/counties \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n If you or someone in your household requires 24-hour care or relies on electricity for medical needs\, register with Florida’s Sp ecial Needs Registry. Registering in advance helps local emergency managem ent officials better understand and plan for community needs before\, duri ng and after a disaster. Preparedness looks different for every business\, organization\, and household\, but every Floridian can take steps now to become more resilient.
