Hurricane Season in Jacksonville Beach, FL started 6/1/13 and runs a full 6 months until 11/30/13.
Most of the residents who have been through one hurricane season know the basics of living in a coastal community during hurricane season:
- Have your survival kit ready to go with the families medications, pet foods, pets & their inoculation charts.
- Remember to check if your destination emergency shelter accepts pets, and any other special needs your family may require.
- Prepare your property prior to evacuation by bringing in outdoor furniture & grills, and anything that could become airborne.
- Secure your property using hurricane shutters, etc prior to evacuation.
Remember, a hurricane watch is when a hurricane may threaten the coast and inland areas within the next 48 hours. A hurricane warning is when a hurricane is expected to strike in the next 36 hours.
