August means peak hurricane season—prepare now!
Hurricane season lasts through Nov. 30, and peak season is mid-August through mid-October. Now is the time to prepare your home, stock your preparedness kit and finalize any emergency plans for your household and family.
Stay informed by signing up for Alert Pinellas and downloading the Ready Pinellas app to receive emergency alerts. Monitor local news and the National Weather Service for the latest forecasts.
To ensure staff and partners are also prepared for hurricane season, Pinellas County recently simulated preparation and response to a Category 3 hurricane. About 400 representatives from agencies across Pinellas County, plus state and federal partners, participated in the exercise virtually and in person at the Pinellas County Emergency Operations Center in Largo.
