We here at SERVPRO of Wynwood want to remind our local businesses and communities, hurricane season is not over until November 30th.

October has been a very active month historically and the most likely month for a hurricane to make landfall in Florida.

With Winter around the corner, we at SERVPRO of Wynwood would like to remind you that we aren’t out of Hurricane season just yet. Since 1950, at least 8 out of 15 hurricanes have made landfall in the state of Florida during October.

Even though we are half-way through October, we strongly urge our fellow businesses and residents to be prepared should a hurricane hit Florida. Below is a list of what you should have in your preparedness kit:

• Water - one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food - at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
• Portable Power banks (Portable chargers)
• Flashlight
• First aid kit
• Extra batteries
• Whistle to signal for help
• Baby wipes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Manual can opener for food
• Local maps
• Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
