Attorney General Moody releases 2023 Hurricane Preparedness Guide
As Atlantic Hurricane Season is underway, Attorney General Ashley Moody released the 2023 Hurricane Preparedness Guide.
Earlier this week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced it is predicting a near-normal season this year, with 12-17 named storms and one to four major hurricane events. While experts do not expect an active season, it only takes one storm to be deadly—and a just-released report suggests as many as one in five Floridians do not plan on preparing for a potential storm strike.
“Today [June 1] marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season and a new survey claims one in five Floridians do not plan to make preparations for a potential storm strike,” Moody said. “This is extremely concerning, especially on the heels of last year’s devastating season that caused tremendous damage and flooding in our state. I want to encourage those Floridians defying the experts to reconsider their strategy and check out our 2023 Hurricane Preparedness Guide — for tips on how to protect life and property.”
