ORLANDO, Fla., May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hurricane season starts June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30, 2026. During this time, Floridians face the greatest possibility of major storms. Florida Realtors® – The Voice for Real Estate® in Florida – encourages all residents, including homeowners, renters and property managers, to take essential steps now to protect lives and property.
"Hurricane season is part of life in Florida, and preparation is key to safety and minimizing risk," said Florida Realtors President Chuck Bonfiglio, broker-owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation. "Whether you own or rent your home, early planning helps you protect what matters most – your family and your investment."
An emergency supply kit should include nonperishable foods and supplies that meet a family's and pet's health and medical needs. Under a federally declared emergency, residents can get an extra 30-day prescription supply with no price increase, even for recently filled prescriptions. Talk with a health care provider and pharmacist about emergency medication supplies.
Other items to include in an emergency supply kit:
If a family member needs daily medical assistance – routine nursing care, help with medication, oxygen therapy or electricity for life-supporting medical equipment – you should pre-register for a special needs shelter. Go to FloridaDisaster.org and click on "Special Needs Registry" to find out how to preregister.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency advises taking some basic steps to prepare your home for possible storms:
