2025 Hurricane Season: What SW Florida Homeowners Need to Know

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. After the devastating 2024 season that brought Hurricanes Helene and Milton to Southwest Florida within 13 days of each other, preparation is more critical than ever.

Month-by-Month Preparation Timeline

April-May: Planning Phase

  • Review and update your hurricane preparedness plan
  • Schedule a roof inspection : address repairs before storm season
  • Review your insurance policy: verify wind/hurricane coverage limits and understand your hurricane deductible
  • Consider adding flood insurance if you don’t have it (30-day waiting period)
  • Enroll in WrightWay’s free Emergency Response Program for pre-storm documentation

June: Season Start

  • Build or refresh your emergency supply kit
  • Test hurricane shutters and generators
  • Trim trees and remove dead branches within 10 feet of structures
  • Document your property with photos and video for insurance baseline

August-October: Peak Season

  • Monitor NOAA forecasts actively
  • When a storm enters the Gulf, activate your preparation plan immediately
  • Know your evacuation zone and route
  • Keep WrightWay’s emergency number saved: (941) 379-8669

After Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton, SW Florida homeowners know that hurricane preparation isn’t optional. Start now : the cost of preparation is always less than the cost of recovery.
