June 1 marks the start of hurricane season. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is forecasting a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season this year, preparedness should never take a back seat.

It only takes one storm to cause significant and lasting damage. Now is the time for property owners, boards and community associations to review their plans, communicate with residents and ensure they are ready should a storm impact our state.

Our firm remains committed to helping Florida communities prepare, respond and recover through educational resources, guidance and support throughout hurricane season. Stay informed, stay prepared and stay safe.
