2026 Hurricane Season Preparedness
Summary
Forecasters call for a slightly below-average season (8-14 named storms), but emergency management stresses preparing for the storm, not the season — four local shelters are all in storm-surge zones, so the Babcock Ranch shelter deal matters. Vulnerable-population registration and Alert Charlotte sign-ups are the big pushes.
