Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30 each year, and every season calls for readiness. Because storms can be intense and unpredictable, a reliable and practical preparedness plan is essential.

Installing shutters and securing loose outdoor items are important steps, but true safety depends on planning ahead.
