Getting ready for the 2026 hurricane season

As Tropical Storm Bertha stirs up the Gulf of Mexico, NOAA predicts a potentially active hurricane season with three to six hurricanes expected, including one to three major ones packing winds over 110 mph. This forecast comes as a crucial reminder for coastal regions to prepare for increased risks, especially after the devastation seen in previous years. With climate change potentially intensifying storm patterns, this season's predictions underscore the importance of readiness and resilient infrastructure to mitigate future disaster impacts.
