How to Prepare for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be an active one, with forecasts predicting 13 to 18 named storms, 7 to 10 hurricanes, and 3 to 5 major hurricanes. 

While we can’t predict exactly when or where these storms will hit, we can prepare.

Whether you live along the Connecticut shoreline or farther inland, hurricanes can bring heavy rain, damaging winds, and long-term power outages. The best time to prepare your home and family is before the first storm forms. Here’s how:

1. Know the Season Timeline
   Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, but it’s never too early to get ready. Use this time to evaluate your emergency plans, restock supplies, and ensure your home’s systems are storm-ready.
   
   
2. Build or Refresh Your Emergency Kit
   Every household should have:
   
   1. At least 3 days of water (1 gallon per person per day)
   2. Non-perishable food and snacks
   3. Flashlights and extra batteries
   4. First aid supplies and medications
   5. Portable phone chargers or power banks
   6. Important documents in a waterproof bag
      
      
3. Secure Your Property
   Before a storm hits:
   
   1. Trim dead branches from trees near your home
   2. Bring in or secure outdoor furniture
   3. Clear gutters and drains
   4. Know how to manually operate your garage door
      
      
4. Have a Power Backup Plan
   When the grid goes down, a home standby generator keeps your lights on, your fridge cold, and your devices powered. Unlike portable units, standby generators turn on automatically when power is lost—no refueling or extension cords needed.
   
   

   Pro tip: Fallen leaves and debris can clog generator air vents. Clear the area regularly to prevent overheating.

5. Schedule Generator Installation or Maintenance
   If you don’t have a generator, now’s the time to get one. Our experts can help you choose the right size and model for your home, ensuring you only pay for what you need. Already have a generator? Annual maintenance ensures it’s ready to run when you need it most.
