Storm Prep Sunday

Hey Neighbor,

September kept us focused on one thing — staying storm ready! With hurricane season in full swing, we spent the month sharing reminders, resources, and practical tips to help you prepare and stay safe.

From car, home, and pet prep to understanding the peak of hurricane season and busting common storm myths, each week brought simple steps to keep you and your family one step ahead.

We know storm prep can feel overwhelming, but small actions now make a big difference when it matters most. Whether it’s checking your supplies, reviewing your evacuation plan, or helping a neighbor get ready — every bit counts.

We know hurricane prep can feel like a lot, but steady reminders now make a big difference when it matters most.

  • Car Prep: Keep an emergency kit, fill your gas tank early, and make sure your car is ready to go.
  • Home Prep: Prep your home early, build your food supply little by little (and check those expiration dates), and pack comfort items for the little ones.
  • Pet Prep: Stock food, medications, comfort items, and keep ID/collars updated. Have a crate or leash ready for evacuations.

Week 3: Myths vs Facts

Read Myths vs Facts CBNN

There are a lot of myths about storms out there. As Floridians, we've gained a lot of knowledge about storms, but it's easy to forget that storms can be unpredictable - tracks can change, small wobbles can make a big difference, and impacts can extend far beyond the cone. 

The big takeaways from September Storm Prep emails: 

  • Don't plan for what has happened, plan for what could happen.
  • Small steps today = less stress tomorrow
  • Know your evacuation zone.

Stay safe. Stay Informed.
