With hurricane season finally behind us, it’s understandable to want to turn the page and not think about severe weather and potential impacts down the road. But every day Floridians aren’t experiencing a storm, they should be preparing for one.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton brought devastation to homes, businesses and lives across the Sunshine State. Thankfully, Floridians again were able to show their resolve and wasted little time helping each other and moving into the recovery phase that will take months, if not years.

The potential damage from a hurricane reaches well beyond physical structures and property into financial instability. That’s why preparation and quick recovery is critical for people’s daily lives as well as the state’s economy.
