Above Average Hurricane Season During COVID-19

In May, NOAA predicted a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season. With the arrival of Tropical Storm Fay, the National Hurricane Center has already named 6 storms - the earliest in a season that six have been named dating back to the 1800s. 

NOAA’s forecast calls for up to 19 storms, which includes up to six major hurricanes. Responding to these hurricanes will put added pressure on departments and municipalities already stressed by COVID-19, making for an unprecedented situation. 

Western Shelter is ready to help. We recommend:

-Placing orders ASAP
