7 Ways To Prepare For The 2021 Hurricane Season
Whether you’re a seasoned Englewood, Florida resident who has lived through hurricane season before or if you’re new to the state and are
feeling unprepared, we have 7 ways to prepare for the 2021 hurricane season. At the time of this writing, there have already been three named storms and the season is still in the early stages.
Hurricane season doesn’t officially end until November so we are looking at months and months of the potential for hurricane damage. Pre-planning is always best when it comes to hurricane season. If you’re waiting until there is a call for an evacuation to fill your vehicle with gas, chances are you will be waiting in long lines and the gas station may run out before you get your chance at the pump. That is just one of the things you need to prepare and pre-plan for during hurricane season.

Here are a few items you need to shop for today.

- Batteries
- Important documents like car and homeowner’s insurance, birth certificates, medical records, etc make copies and put them in waterproof containers to take with you.
