Prepare Now. Stay Safe Later.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its official forecast for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and the message is clear: this will be one of the most active seasons on record.
If you live in Florida, now is the time to prepare — not when the cone is already on top of your county.
🌀 What’s in the 2025 NOAA Forecast?
According to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, the 2025 season will likely bring:
- 17 to 25 named storms
- 8 to 13 hurricanes
- 4 to 7 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)
This forecast is well above average, driven by record-warm Atlantic waters, a developing La Niña, and climate change influences that are increasing storm intensity.
📍 Why Florida Should Pay Extra Attention
Florida is ground zero for U.S. hurricane landfalls. In an active season like this, residents of coastal cities, inland flood zones, and rural communities must be prepared.
According to NOAA, areas like the Gulf Coast and East Coast — including Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle — should be on high alert, especially in August through October, when storm activity peaks.
📦 What Should You Do Now?
1. Build (or Update) Your Emergency Kit
Experts recommend every Florida household have a 72-hour hurricane emergency kit. It should include:
- Food & water
- Flashlights, batteries, and radios
- First aid items
- Face masks, hygiene essentials
- Emergency blanket
- Personal documents and medications
🛑 Don’t wait until a storm is named — by then, store shelves are empty. Our StormSafe Kits include over 20 essential items and ship directly to your door.

2. Know Your Evacuation Zone
Check your zone at FloridaDisaster.org. Some counties will evacuate for Category 1–2 storms if storm surge risk is high.
Have a plan for:
- Where to go
- How to get there
- What to bring if you evacuate
3. Secure Your Home
Inspect your windows, shutters, roof, and gutters. Clear trees away from the house. If you rent, talk to your landlord early about storm protocol.
4. Stay Informed All Season Long
Follow the National Hurricane Center, your local Emergency Management agency, and trusted weather sources.
Tip: Sign up for local text alerts and enable emergency notifications on your phone.
🚨 The 2025 Season Could Break Records
NOAA’s prediction of 4–7 major hurricanes is alarming. Warm ocean waters are hurricane fuel — and the Atlantic is currently warmer than usual for May. Combined with weakening wind shear (thanks to La Niña), these storms can form fast and grow stronger than expected.
Past major hurricanes (like Ian, Irma, and Michael) have taught us that one storm can change everything. Even if only one major storm hits Florida — and you’re not prepared — the consequences can be devastating.
