It’s Hurricane Season once again here on Florida’s Space Coast! The season officially began on June 1st, but this year the tropics kicked off the 2018 season early with Tropical Storm Alberto, which affected Florida’s Panhandle, the Gulf states, and brought rain to much of the southeast. While weather officials are predicting another active year for the Atlantic basin and Gulf of Mexico, only time will tell if this season will produce significant storms. Especially for our seasoned beachside and coastal residents, hurricanes and tropical weather patterns are a part of life here in the Sunshine State.
Whether you’re vacationing here or a long-time resident, it’s always a good idea to have a plan, and it’s never too early to put yours together. Brevard County’s Emergency Management Office offers a host of information, materials, and resources to get you started, and the ASPCA has tips for pet owners. My News 13 also has a wealth of information both about hurricane season and our year-round weather patterns. Lastly, for the most up-to-date hurricane and tropical forecasts, you can visit NOAA’s National Hurricane Center.
As your property manager, we are often some of the last to leave in the event of a significant storm, and some of the first to return after officials give the all clear, working hard to make sure our tenants and properties are prepared and protected to the best of our abilities. We monitor the weather closely throughout the season and at the first indication of a potential impact, we begin to implement our preparedness procedures.
