Belleair Storage reminds you to prepare now for the 2020 hurricane season.
Most Floridians know how to plan for hurricane season. But with this year’s unexpected pandemic, supplies aren’t as readily available. That’s why it’s more important than ever to get ready for adverse weather coming soon. With these concerns in mind, we’re sharing some hurricane prep solutions, so you are well equipped for this year’s hurricane season.
What is Hurricane Season?
Hurricane season takes place every year between June 1st and November 30th. For five months, Floridians pay close attention to the weather, tuning into social media and their televisions for the latest storm on its way. There’s never a dull moment during hurricane season. From getting supplies to wondering how social distancing at evacuation centers will work, this time of year may be extra stressful to some. With all these current pressures, Belleair Storage reminds you to prepare now for the 2020 hurricane season.
Preparing for Hurricane Season During a Pandemic

Below is a list of the items that we believe you will need the most during the 2020 hurricane season.
