Hurricane season starts today. Here's what to expect | CNN

As we enter June, we also enter an important phase for countries in the Atlantic region - hurricane season. CNN reports that this year’s hurricane season is expected to be another busy one. Here are the main points you need to know:

1. More named storms than average- Experts predict there will be 13 to 20 named storms this year, with up to five major hurricanes.

2. COVID-19 complicates response efforts - Natural disasters such as hurricanes are always disruptive, but the ongoing pandemic has raised concerns about how response efforts will be coordinated and executed.

3. Be prepared - Stock up on essential supplies, have a plan for evacuation, and stay informed with up to date weather alerts.

This article caught my attention because it highlights the importance of taking natural disasters seriously, especially during a global pandemic. Living in Florida, I have experienced first-hand how quickly a hurricane can cause chaos and destruction. While it’s impossible to predict the exact path of a hurricane, it is possible to prepare and have a plan in place to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

In conclusion, hurricane season can be a stressful time for those living in affected areas, but being adequately prepared can make all the difference. Stay informed, stock up on supplies, and have a plan in place. Don’t wait until it’s too late to take action.
