Hurricane Season

June 1 marks the start of what can be a very stressful time
of year – hurricane season. Hurricanes are part of the reality Norbert Graber, R. Ph.
of living near the coast and major hurricanes are becoming and Lynn Graber, R. Ph.
more and more prevalent. However, the key to navigating
hurricane season is to be prepared and have a plan. This year,
to help you prepare, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration has declared April 30 to May 6 as National
Hurricane Preparedness Week, visit noaa.gov/hurricane-prep
for more information.
Preparing Before Hurricane Season
In 2022, the Florida Legislature passed the Home
Hardening Sales Tax Exemption on the purchase of impact-
resistant doors, windows, and garage doors, between July
1, 2022 and June 30, 2024. For more information, visit
floridarevenue.com/homehardening. Now is also a good time
to do an assessment of your yard and trim trees that might
cause damage to your home or property during a storm.
Hurricane Guide
Even relatively minor hurricanes can leave you without
power and water for a few days. Make sure you are prepared
by having enough food, water, and medical supplies for your FREE
