General Hurricane Season Updates
Hello,
The year 2020 continues to prove to be one of a kind. As Tropical Storm Gonzalo sets a record for becoming the earliest named “G” storm in the Atlantic Ocean, it is evident that South Florida needs to be prepared for this Hurricane Season.
While our friends at the National Hurricane Center don’t predict Gonzalo will pose a threat to South Florida, we must realize that we have yet to hit the peak of Hurricane Season. For all things preparation, we remind you that we have built a digital Storm Resource Center for your business to leverage.
Visit www.wheelhouseit.com/storm to download your resources today!
Additionally, we have curated a quick read about being prepared for Hurricane Season during a pandemic. Here we highlight the following to consider in your preparations:
- Physical Plant Operations
- External Assistance
- Location Challenges
- Supply Chain Interruptions
- Communication Channels
- Insurance Claims Challenges
- The People Involved

Although we have adopted to working from home, it is still important to ensure that your business is prepared for Hurricane Season. Statistically, those that don’t may never fully recover from a disaster. At WheelHouse IT, we understand what it means to be storm ready! With the 2020 Hurricane Season officially here, our team has once again, reviewed and refined our hurricane plans.
The 2020 hurricane season begins on June 1st. Have you developed a hurricane preparedness plan to protect your business and staff in the event of an impending storm?
Hurricane season lasts approximately six months each year with the official start date of June 1st through November 30th. For 2020, weather experts anticipate an active hurricane season with the likelihood of 14-18 named tropical storms. Seven to nine of those storms are forecast to strengthen into hurricanes with two to three storms developing into major hurricanes(category 3 or above) capable of catastrophic damage. This 2020 season is considered an above-normal season for tropical disturbances.
