With Florida’s temperatures at a low and hurricane season behind us, it may seem a bit early to think about the 2024 hurricane season; the truth is that the season comes quickly, and it is important to be prepared. With the new year right around the corner, now is the perfect time to double and triple check plans for 2024, and that includes building safety.
On December 11, 2023, Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) released its extended range forecast for the 2024 season, and they predicted an above-average season to include 20 named storms, 9 hurricanes and 4 intense hurricanes. The official start of hurricane season is June 1st, which leaves you plenty of time to get on the schedule for a roof inspection and ensure that everything is in place to handle the hazards posed by severe storms. Hurricanes affect millions of buildings and homes every year; from heavy rain and flooding to high winds and destructive debris, hurricanes cause dangerous and costly damage. That being stated, appropriate preparations can help property owners and HOAs mitigate those risks and better position themselves to withstand the storm.
